Code mobility

In distributed computing code mobility implies that running programs , codes or objects can be migrated or moved from one machine to another. This can be looked at as moving code across the nodes of a network in search say for data as opposed to distributed computation where the data is moved. It is common practice in distributed systems to require movement code or even process instead of data between parts of the system.

The idea behind code mobility is to support sophisticated operations. For example a user A can send an excel running program to a friend continues to work as if nothing happened.
