METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING A MOBILE AGENT IN A NETWORK, ASSOCIATED TRANSMITTER, RECEIVER AND MOBILE AGENT

摘要

The invention relates to the transmission of autonomous executable code and/or of associated data in a network. It includes the placing into bitstream form of the executable code C (stage T2) and of the associated data D (stage T3) of a mobile agent A before converting them into a bitstream to be sent fA (stage T4). After the conventional digital processing operations on reception (stages R1 to R5), the receiving node NR receiving this stream fA extracts the code C and the parameters D (stages R8 and R9). The code C is run autonomously (stage E2) then the code C and its runtime context (associated parameters and resulting data) are again converted into a bitstream fA transmitted to the next node (stages T). The final node recovers the data DR resulting from the running of the code C on the nodes N of the route P (stage R11).
