This paper first introduces and discusses a few considerations on some key requirements of mobile computing services. In particular, the relevance of both dependability and adaptability to an effective distribution of the service is investigated. Next, the paper discusses a novel structuring technique for the application layer of mobile software, as an example of an existing tool fulfilling those requirements. Such technique has been designed in the framework of ESPRIT project TIRAN and is fully explored in the IST project DepAuDE
