Abstract :
Telescript is a software technology for building distributed applications using the mobile agent paradigm. Telescript mobile agents are migrating processes capable of being executed on any Telescript service host. Currently, Telescript incorporates safety and security features sufficient for deploying the first generation of mobile agent applications, subject to certain operating restrictions. The ultimate goal is the safe hosting of arbitrary, previously unseen programs, or "programming the network".
