APPLICATION CONTEXT TRANSFER FOR DISTRIBUTED COMPUTING RESOURCES

In one embodiment, a universal programming module on a first device collects context and state information from a local application executing on the first device, and provides the context and state information to a context mobility agent on the first device. The context mobility agent establishes a peer-to-peer connection with a second device, and transfers the context and state information to the second device, such that a remote application may be configured to execute according to the transferred context and state information from the first device. In another embodiment, the context mobility agent receives remote context and remote state information from the second device, wherein the remote application had been executing according to the remote context and remote state information, and provides the remote context and remote state information to the universal programming module to configure the local application to execute according to the remote context and remote state information.
