      This paper details an availability service in a service-oriented
      platform based on OMG/CORBA, for transparent migrating of
      services, i.e., components or agents. Migration of services is
      used to move components executing on a mobile host to another
      host, in case of shutdown or disconnection. A mobile host is
      treated as any other host going down or failing in an
      environment where the availability and functionality of the
      services and tasks wants to be sustained. Transparent location of
      a new destination host is simplified to the search and
      contracting of available resources from other hosts.
