Abstract
Current applications, in particular for resource constrained terminals, may only require access to an updated version of an application, but updates of current applications must typically be downloaded in their entirety. There is provided systems and methods of modifying an application program for provisioning in a runtime environment of a terminal, the application including a plurality of uniquely addressable logical modules having respective executable methods, where the modules are linked by a set of execution pathways. One method comprises obtaining a migration instruction set for coordinating the modification of the application and executing the migration instruction set for modifying a first execution pathway of the execution pathways to create a modified application. The updated version of the application is represented by a stored addressing map for coordinating hosting of the modified application in the runtime environment.
