1. A method for determining an order in which to stream modules of an application from a server to a client configured to execute the application concurrently with module streaming, the application utilizing the modules in an execution-time dependent order, the method comprising the steps of:

  • identifying potential execution transitions between modules;

    associating at least one weighted value with each transition indicating a likelihood relative to other transitions that the particular transitions between modules will occur;

    upon notice that the client is executing a particular module, determining a subsequent order of utilization of the modules by the application at the client with reference to the weighted values associated with identified transitions from the particular module; and

    indicating that modules should be streamed to the client in the determined order.
