Hi,
I am out looking for ltterature or just stories. I would like to know about
migrating programs, what they have been used for, and what people think
they can be used for. Migrating programs lives on networks, and have the
property that then can execute on one machine for a while, then pack up,
and move to an other machine where they RESUME their execution. A related
specimen spawns new programs that installs themself on a new machine, but
stays there. I am collecting material for my personal benefit, and for
a "related work" section of my thesis. Anything is of interest.
Migrating programs might be know under other names, such as Active messages
and intelligent mail. Harmful versions are called virus...
