xMozart: A Novel Platform for Intelligent Task Migration

In this paper, we present a new platform for migrating applications in/between intelligent computing contexts. We establish the framework through the following technical aspects: application reconstruction, application state recovery, resource rebinding and I/O interface reinstallation. Our goal is to migrate applications seamlessly like a shadow as users change their locations in certain contexts while demanding access to applications which originally reside in their main workstations. The design and implementation of this framework are based on Mozart platform with an extension of TCK/TK libraries, which are also employed for illustration and prototyping in our following discussion.
