 After a fork() system call, the F process can execute an exec() system call. This system call forces the F process to migrate from the K cluster to the owner cluster Z, to execute a new code, while keeping the same PID. Therefore a new reference process descriptor must be created in  the Z cluster, and initialized. The Z cluster  will become both the owner and the reference cluster of the F process. The old reference process descriptor in K must be deleted. 
 The exec() system call  execute the following steps:
- 1. The kernel K send an RPC_PROCESS_MIGRATE to cluster Z with the following arguments : the extended pointer on the F process descriptor in cluster K, the binary file, and ...
+ 1. The kernel K send an RPC_PROCESS_MIGRATE to cluster Z. The argument is the extended pointer on the F process descriptor in cluster K.
  1. To execute this RPC, the kernel Z allocates a new reference process descriptor in cluster Z, and initializes it from informations found in process descriptor in cluster K, using a remote_memcpy().
  1. The kernel Z allocates and initializes the  structures contained in the process VMM: PG_TBL(Z,F), VSEG_LIST(Z,F).
