Abstract
An originating host (101) splits a software agent into a code unit (103) and a data unit (105) and forwards the data unit (105) to a destination host (107). Once the destination host (107) receives the data unit (105) from the originating host (101), the data unit (105) is combined with a code unit (109), associated with the data unit (105) but not sourced by the originating host (101), forming a destination agent. The destination agent is executed.
Claims41
A method comprising the steps of:
- generating a software agent at an origination host;
- splitting the software agent into a code unit and a data unit;
- forwarding from the originating host the data unit but not the code unit to a destination host;
- and
- combining, by the destination host, the data unit with a further code unit associated with the data unit, forming a destination agent, wherein the further code unit is not sourced by the originating host.
2 more elements
A method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a data unit at a destination host from an originating host;
- verifying the data unit;
- combining at the destination host the data unit with a code unit, forming a software agent, the code unit not being received from the originating host;
- executing the software agent.
1 more element
A method comprising the steps of:
- splitting, by an originating host, a software agent into a code unit and a data unit;
- forwarding the data unit to a destination host;
- receiving, by the destination host, the data unit from the originating host;
- combining, by the destination host, the data unit with a code unit associated with the data unit, forming a destination agent, wherein the code unit is not sourced by the originating host;
- executing the destination agent.
2 more elements
A system comprising:
- an originating host, arranged and constructed to split a software agent into a code unit and a data unit and forward the data unit but not the code unit associated with the data unit to a destination host;
- a destination host, arranged and constructed to receive the data unit, to combine the data unit with a code unit associated with the data unit, thereby forming a destination agent, wherein the code unit is not sourced by the originating host.
