Abstract

A service program for execution of a service is divided into a server control module for execution of the service in a server, a display control module for providing a display control in a client, an initial setting module defining a method of acquiring a service module prepared based on the type of client and required for the client, and a common module operable in the operating environment of the server and the client both. When a shortage of resources is detected in the client during execution of this service program then a portion of the common modules is executed in the server, and when a shortage of resources is detected in the server then a portion of the common modules is executed in some other server.
