Abstract

This paper describes an experiment with mobility in multi-agent systems. The setting is a virtual machine that supports reification of the computational state of a running process. The objective is to investigate how this feature facilitates telescripting and to speculate on how languages like Java should evolve to include the resulting notion of strong migration
