Abstract

A method is described for migrating a computing process from a first host to a second host, wherein prior to migration the process discards data, program code and execution states specific to the first host, and wherein after migration the process receives data, program code and execution states specific to the second host. This is achieved by forming a construct containing a process that is an application specific subset of the computing process to be transferred and then assimilating into that sub-process in the new host a system specific process relating to the new host. Alternatively the process may migrate intact, i.e. including the first host specific information, and then discard that information after migration either before or after assimilating information specific to the second host.
