ABSTRACT:
A method and system for utilizing resources according to a novel computing architecture are provided, including an operational environment for denizen processes and a way for denizens to travel between locations. A denizen process is capable of receiving instructions, evaluating different locations in the operational environment in view of the received instructions, selecting a location based on that evaluation, moving itself to the selected location, and executing at least a portion of the received instructions at the selected location. To avoid distributing viruses and to reduce bandwidth requirements, denizens can move by specifying information for building a denizen by using code stored in a library at a destination location. The denizen is also capable of reproducing and archiving itself, of detecting an error in itself, and of attempting to replace itself with an archived version of itself or attempting to rebuild itself from library components. In addition, the denizen is capable of modifying itself by dynamically loading and unloading code. Denizens can flexibly allocate processors because each denizen can individually decide where it should execute. Application areas for employing the novel architecture include database management and natural language translation.
