ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and system for implementing migration of an application among heterogeneous devices. An application consists of sets of one or more component. The application running on a source device and the hardware configuration of the target device are examined to port the application to the target device by selecting at least one component from each set that fits to run on the target device. The running state of the application that exits on the source device is captured and sent to the target device. The target device loads the ported application and instantiates it, using the captured running state of the application.
