Mobile executable components

Hello,

As part of my school thesis I plan to design and develop a 'Mobile Agent framework'.

I intend to begin with a simple prototype:
1. Move an executable component from one machine to another
2. Have the executable component run on the destination machine
3. Move the executable component back to the source

For this I need to be able to pack and transfer a component from one machine to another.

My present design involves a simple 'Agent framework':
1. On the destination machine a daemon process continually waits for incoming components
2. The source machine packs and transmits the component to the destination machine

My question is:
1. Can I marshall and transmit a COM component to a remote machine? How should I go about doing this? Where can I find related material?

Thank you in advance,

Santhosh
 
Maybe it is better to use Java instead of COM.
