    Abstract: A method and structure for transferring tools to resources is disclosed. The resources use the tools to accomplish tasks. The system includes a public server connected to the resources, a tool server connected to the public server, and a database connected to the public server. The database maintains information regarding a software and hardware profile of each of the resources and task capabilities of the resources. The public server assigns the tasks to the resources based upon the task capabilities of the resources. The public server provides the tools from the tool server to the resources to accomplish the tasks. The public server provides a version of the tool to the resource, based upon the software and hardware profile. The resources are provided an opportunity to verify and update the software and hardware profile and the task capabilities as each task is assigned and each tool is provided.
