Abstract
A system and method that operate on data in a communication system. The system comprises a communication network for routing objects that include data and a tag and comprised of processing modules for processing the data included in the objects and routing nodes that are operable to route the objects between the processing modules. Each processing module includes a processing memory for storing objects. Each routing node includes a routing memory for storing memory objects and is operable to route objects throughout the system. The objects include stored objects stored in various ones of the respective processing memories and the respective routing memories. Each stored object further includes methods that are executable to perform operations on the data and a processing list that lists the methods to be executed on the data. Each processing node interrogates objects to examine the processing list and execute methods identified by the processing list to perform corresponding operations on the data. The method routes objects in the communication system.
