A conceptual framework for network and client adaptation
Modern networks are extremely complex, varying both statically and dynamically. This complexity and dynamism are greatly increased when the network contains mobile elements. A number of researchers have proposed solutions to these problems based on ...
On proxy agents, mobility, and web access
With the emerging need for ubiquitous access to information, web access from mobile clients is gaining increasing importance. Unfortunately, the underlying protocols of the web are not designed to support operations from a resource poor platform in a ...
The Satchel system architecture: mobile access to documents and services
Mobile professionals require access to documents and document‐related services, such as printing, wherever they may be. They may also wish to give documents to colleagues electronically, as easily as with paper, face‐to‐face, and with similar security ...
MobiCast: a multicast scheme for wireless networks
In this paper, we propose a multicast scheme known as MobiCast that is suitable for mobile hosts in an internetwork environment with small wireless cells. Our scheme adopts a hierarchical mobility management approach to isolate the mobility of the ...
Intelligent information dissemination services in hybrid satellite-wireless networks
The need for rapid deployment and user mobility suggest the use of a hybrid satellite‐wireless network infrastructure for important situation awareness and emergency response applications. An Intelligent Information Dissemination Service (IIDS) has been ...
Adaptive disk spin—down for mobile computers
We address the problem of deciding when to spin down the disk of a mobile computer in order to extend battery life. One of the most critical resources in mobile computing environments is battery life, and good energy conservation methods increase the ...
Consistency management in Deno
We describe a new replicated‐object protocol designed for use in mobile and weakly‐connected environments. The protocol differs from previous protocols in combining epidemic information propagation with voting, and in using fixed per‐object currencies ...
A pre-serialization transaction management technique for mobile multidatabases
Rapid advances in hardware and wireless communication technology have made the concept of mobile computing a reality. Thus, evolving database technology needs to address the requirements of the future mobile user. The frequent disconnection and ...
