1. A method comprising:
- (a) obtaining data from a first emulator and a first emulation environment, on a first machine, hosting particular software, including at least;
(1) deciding whether to increase a trust level of at least a portion of the particular software hosted in the first emulation environment as a result of the particular software meeting one or more performance indicators while executed in the first emulation environment, including at least;
(A) deciding whether to increase a trust level of at least a portion of the particular software hosted in the first emulation environment as a result of the particular software meeting one or more performance indicators while being executed in the first emulation environment that include at least one of manifesting an error rate below a given threshold, completing one or more tasks within a specified time, or completing one or more specific tasks successfully; and
(b) signaling a decision to transfer at least some of the data to a second emulator that is configured to host on a second emulation environment at least a portion of the particular software hosted by the first emulation environment on the first machine, wherein the signaling a decision to transfer at least some of the data to a second emulator includes at least signaling a decision to transfer the at least some of the data to a second emulator that is on a second machine that is physically distinct from the first machine, and wherein the signaling a decision to transfer is performed at least partly as a result of the decision to increase or not to increase the trust level of at least a portion of the particular software hosted in the first emulation environment; and
(c) wherein at least the signaling a decision to transfer is performed with at least at least one or more processing devices.

7. A system comprising:
-
(a) circuitry for obtaining data from a first emulator and a first emulation environment, on a first machine, hosting particular software, including at least; (1) circuitry for deciding whether to increase a trust level of at least a portion of the particular software hosted in the first emulation environment as a result of the particular software meeting one or more performance indicators when executed in the first emulation environment, including at least; (A) circuitry for deciding whether to increase a trust level of at least a portion of the particular software hosted in the first emulation environment as a result of the particular software meeting one or more performance indicators while being executed in the first emulation environment that include at least one of manifesting an error rate below a given threshold, completing one or more tasks within a specified time, or completing one or more specific tasks successfully; and (b) circuitry for signaling a decision to transfer at least some of the data to a second emulator on a second machine that is physically distinct from the first machine at least partly as a result of the decision to increase or not to increase the trust level of at least a portion of the particular software hosted in the first emulation environment, wherein the circuitry for signaling is configured to signal a decision to transfer at least some of the data to a second emulator that is configured to host in a second emulation environment on the second machine at least a portion of the particular software hosted by the first emulation environment on the first machine. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)

32. A system comprising:
-
(a) circuitry for obtaining at least error data from a first emulator and a first virtual machine, on a first machine, hosting particular software, including at least; (1) circuitry for deciding whether to increase a trust level of at least a portion of the particular software hosted in the first virtual machine as a result of the particular software manifesting an error rate below a given threshold when executed in the first virtual machine; and (b) circuitry for signaling a decision to transfer at least some of the error data to a second emulator on a second machine that is physically distinct from the first machine at least partly as a result of the decision to increase or not to increase the trust level of at least a portion of the particular software hosted in the first virtual machine, wherein the circuitry for signaling is configured to signal a decision to transfer at least some of the error data to a second emulator that is configured to host in a second virtual machine on the second machine at least a portion of the particular software hosted by the first virtual machine on the first machine. - View Dependent Claims (33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)
