1. A device-implemented method comprising:
- moving an agent that utilizes a first as-needed canonical rule set in a first execution environment embodied on a first device to a second execution environment embodied on a second device, where the agent utilizes a second as-needed canonical rule set, by at least;
discarding a rule in the first execution environment that will not be needed in the second execution environment;
retrieving an additional rule that will be needed in the second execution environment; and
sending the agent including the additional rule from the first execution environment to the second execution environment.

Abstract
A method for moving an agent that utilizes a first as-needed canonical rule set in a first execution environment to a second execution environment where the agent utilizes a second as-needed rule set comprising discarding a rule in the first execution environment that will not be needed in the second execution environment, retrieving an additional rule that will be needed in the second execution environment and sending the agent including the additional rule from the first execution environment to the second execution environment.

10. A computer readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions that, if executed by a device, cause the device to perform a method comprising:
moving an agent that utilizes a first as-needed canonical rule set in a first execution environment embodied on a first device to a second execution environment embodied on a second device, where the agent utilizes a second as-needed rule set, by at least; requesting an as-needed canonical rule set based on a goal and an execution environment of the agent; requesting movement of the agent that utilizes the as-needed canonical rule set in a first execution environment; encoding the agent with the as-needed canonical rule set; and sending an encoded agent with the as-needed canonical rule set from a first execution environment to a second execution environment, wherein the sending causes the encoded agent to be decoded in the second execution environment. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system comprising:
-
a first memory configured to store a working memory of an agent in a first execution environment; and a first processor configured to be communicably coupled to the first memory, wherein the processor is configured to; move an agent that utilizes a first as-needed canonical rule set in a first execution environment to a second execution environment where the agent utilizes a second as-needed canonical rule set, by at least; discarding the first as-needed canonical rule set; retrieving the second as-needed canonical rule set; encoding the agent including the second as-needed canonical rule set; sending an encoded agent with the second as-needed rule set to the second execution environment; and destructing an original version of the agent in the first execution environment.

20. A system comprising:
-
a first memory configured to store a working memory of an agent in an execution environment; and a processor configured to be communicably coupled to the first memory, wherein the processor is configured to; decode an encoded agent received from another execution environment, wherein the encoded agent includes an as-needed canonical rule set; compile the as-needed canonical rule set; search to locate a rule engine; create a rule engine if no rule engine is located; supply the rule engine with a compiled as-needed canonical rule set; and request the working memory from the rule engine.
