ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a system, method, and article of manufacture for agent processing. In particular, an agent may be executed within an address space of an invoking process that invoked the agent or may be executed in a separate address space. While the agent is processing, the execution of the agent within the address space of the invoking process may be switched to execution of the agent within the separate address space. Similarly, while the agent is processing, the execution of the agent in the separate address space may be switched to execution of the agent in the address space of the invoking process. Moreover, if the invoking process terminates before completing processing, when the invoking process restarts, the invoking process redetermines which agents should be executed in separate address spaces based on information stored before the invoking process terminated.
