Fraglet = baby Fraggle?

That was one workshop paper that was pretty cool, I thought. Fraglets are little bits of executable stack machine code, but with a twist: the execution model is based on chemical reactions. Fraglets 'react' with each other to generate other fraglets, which may possibly get sent across a network.

I have my doubts about efficiency, but the idea is actually quite neat and does lend itself to some reliability problems quite well (e.g. having more than one copy of a particular fraglet in circulation provides natural protection against one copy being damaged).

Cool, if a little over my head ;)
