      Distributed Object Computing platforms like CORBA allow for object
      programming separate from configuration and distribution, and the
      addition of a mobility support extends distribution aspects. Reviewing
      distributed object computing, we present a service-oriented
      architecture based on a OMG/CORBA platform. The addition of an
      availability service associated to a mobility service allows for
      transparent migration of components, i.e., services or agents. The
      current work presents more the structure behind the availability
      service and less the transparency interface to it. Transparent
      mobility of services is interesting in applications using
      load-balancing mixing strategies of normal caching and inverse
      caching, i.e., code moved close to data. The search for a new
      destination host follows a transparent location and selection of
      resources available on other hosts. Supportive testing is presented on
      an example of component migration in mobile computing.
