Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005026915A2] A method for dynamically updating software modules comprises loading a new software module to replace an existing software module. Before the old software module is terminated, however, a check is run to determine if the old software module is engaged in, or being used by, any existing routines, such as an existing communication session. If the old software module is being used, then it can be preserved. Once the old software module is no longer being used, then it can be terminate and all new routines can be configured to use the new software module.
