Abstract
In object oriented-computer systems, objects execute in different, heterogeneous execution environments. During runtime, an object is identified that should desirable execute in another, heterogeneous execution environment. Usage of the object in the current execution environment is terminated, and the object is instantiated in the other, heterogeneous execution environment. During the movement, the state of the object is preserved despite differences in state variable formatting between the execution environments.
