I think its a tough problem in general, but for a thesis, you might be
willing to do some significant hacking.

What you conceptually would need to do is to capture a continuation,
somehow serialize it and transfer it over the network, reconstruct it
on the other side, and invoke it.

This is not easily doable with native Guile continuations since they
are very low-level and involve things like the C stack and cover a
mixture of Scheme and C code and other messy things.

But you might do it by implementing your own Scheme or Scheme-like
interpreter in Guile and giving it just the right properties.  This
should not be too difficult.  Serializing such a `agent-level
continuation' will still be tedious because of the many different data
types that might need to be handled.  But this should mostly be
busy-work.
