ISAM is a proposal directed to resource management in heterogeneous networks, supporting physical and logical mobility, dynamic adaptation and the execution of distributed applications based on components. In order to achieve its goals, ISAM uses, as strategy, an integrated environment that: (a) provides a programming paradigm and its execution environment; (b) handles the adaptation process through a multilevel collaborative model, in which both the system and the application contribute. In this paper we discuss the main mechanisms used to implement the ISAM features, and we also present a parallel application that explores some of this features.
