Abstract

In a computer system including a plurality of mobile code processing systems, the user of a computer can conduct data processing without paying attention to any mobile code processing system received or to any mobile code processing system in the computer. A program repository is arranged in a network such that a plurality of program codes are stored therein in association with the mobile code processing systems. When a mobile code is transferred from a source computer to a destination computer, a name of the processing system is added to the transfer data. On receiving the mobile code, the computer determines whether or not the processing system is provided for the code. If the processing system is missing, the computer acquires from the repository a program code executable in the processing system of the computer. If the processing system is present, the computer executes the mobile code in accordance with the processing system.
