System, method and program for identifying and binding a process in a heterogeneous network
First Claim
1. A system for identifying and binding a process, said system comprising a network server adapted to receive a payload over a network, wherein the payload comprises a request for process execution associated with a task, and wherein the server is further adapted to evaluate the payload, create an agent from the payload, and forward the agent to a network host for process execution associated with the agent.

Abstract
In a system, method and program for identifying and binding a process, a network server receives and analyzes a request for process execution associated with a task and packages the request such that the task may be completed. An embodiment of the system includes a network client that provides a request for process execution to a network server. The network server evaluates the request, and if acceptable, creates a process to be executed on a network host to complete the task. An embodiment of the method includes providing a payload that describes a process requested to complete a task. The payload also describes the ability of the client to pay for the processing. The network server is adapted to receive the payload over the network and to bind the payload with enabling programming instructions allowing the payload to process on a network host.
