Abstract
HARNESS is an experimental Java-centric metacomputing system based on distributed object oriented technolgy. Its main features are the capability to dynamically assemble, manage and dismantle virtual machines that are reconfigurable both in terms of resources enrolled and in therms of services offered, and the capability to mix and match heterogeneous programming models on demand. In this paper we describe how the HARNESS system supports the active, mobile agents programming model.
