<p>In a network centralized node (130), a service supplier environment (132) stores executable code for a service along with its associated data. At each one of a plurality of other network nodes (102, 104, 106, 108, 110) distributed through the network, an associated service execution environment (138) is charged with engaging in service provision. Responsive to a triggering of a service request at one of these other network nodes, a request is made by its associated service execution environment to the service supplier environment for a download of the executable code for the corresponding requested service along with its associated data. The service execution environment then executes the downloaded executable code for the requested service in view of the downloaded data to provide the service.</p> |
