1. A system implemented on at least one computer for changing a communication means used for communication between two software agents, the system comprising:
- a communication server, andeach of said software agents comprises;
a communication module giving access to said communication means; and
means for receiving a new communication module from said communication server,wherein each of said software agents comprises at least a piece of an object code of a distributed computing,wherein said software agents use the communication means to communicate with each other, andwherein, when a software agent from said software agents receives the new communication module, the software agent communicates using the new communication module via a new communication means with another software agent from said software agents, thereby changing the communication means between the two software agents.

12. A method, implemented by at least one computer, of correcting a breakdown in a communication means used between two software agents, the method comprising:
-
said software agents sending messages to a communication server informing the server of said breakdown; said server sending communication modules to said software agents, said communication modules being designed to give access to a different communication means; and said software agents using said communication modules to continue communicating with each other, wherein each of said software agents comprises at least a piece of an object code of a distributed computing. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
