Abstract

The paper reports on our experiences in the field of mobile components. In the past 4 years we have developed a mobile component system, which allowed us to experiment with code mobility in distributed systems. These experiments have given us a unique opportunity to study two major issues in mobile component systems. The first issue is how to develop and provide a robust mobile component architecture. The second issue is how to write code in these kinds of systems. The paper discusses our experience in both of the above
