Abstract: A system supervises applications executing on a set of electronic devices linked by one or more networks. Each device comprises a local supervision entity, the supervision entities cooperating to control the applications, each application comprising a set of application components, and the supervision entity of a given device executes, in response to a command to receive an application component on a reception device, the component having a given starting state: communicating with a set of supervision entities to search for a code file comprising the executable code associated with the application component, loading the executable code file associated with the component on the reception device, in response to the availability of the code file on the reception device, starting the component in the starting state on the basis of the loaded code, by encapsulating it in a container controllable by the supervision entity.

Abstract: A system supervises applications executing on electronic devices connected by one or more networks. Each device comprises a local supervision entity, cooperating to control the applications. Each application comprises a set of application components, each encapsulated in a container by the supervision entity of the device hosting the component. The components are connected by connectors. The supervision entity of a source device executes, in response to receipt of a command to migrate a component to a target device: stopping the component, interrupting arrival of data in the input connectors of the component, serializing and encapsulating the properties of the component in a container of the supervision entity, dispatching a migration request message to the supervision entity of the target device, the message comprising the serialized and encapsulated component, and redirecting the connectors of the component as a function of the state of connections of each connector on the source device.

Abstract: A system is provided for supervising applications executing on a set of electronic devices connected together by one or more networks, characterized in that each device comprises a local supervision entity, the supervision entities cooperating together to control the applications executing on the electronic devices, each application comprising a set of application components, each application component being encapsulated in a container and the components being connected together by connectors, each component container comprising at least one input unit for receiving the input streams, at least one output unit for receiving the output streams, and a control unit, the supervision entity of the device hosting a component being able to control the life cycle of the component between the devices by using the control unit, while the component is able to access its input and output data by using the input and output units of the container.
