Abstract :
Mobile computers, termed Walkstations are expected to be used under massively changing conditions. In order to operate effectively they must adapt their behaviour as conditions change. This paper presents a low latency, heterogeneous application migration service, built from a distributed programming environment, which enables applications to adapt from a rich, office based computing environment to one which is more self-reliant
