ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a novel system and method for supporting the execution of applications of a full service network whereby each application is designed and compiled to execute in a particular execution environment. As the user/subscriber makes a request for a service, the head end accepts the request as one for the downloading of the application associated with the service. The head end downloads the execution environment associated with the particular application. The execution environment is stored in memory at the requesting set-top processor. The application is also downloaded from the head end server to the requesting set-top processor and stored at the set-top processor. The set-top then executes the environment and the application in turn.
