  • Abstract
    An approach to heterogeneous process migration that involves building a machine-independent migration program that specifies the current code and data state of the process to be migrated is described. When this program is compiled and executed on the target machine, it will first reconstruct the process´s state and then continue the normal execution of the now-migrated process. The principal advantage of this approach is that it hides the details of code and data translation in the compilers for each machine
