Abstract
Web Page access in mobile wireless environments suffers more challenges for the limited memory of mobile devices and the unreliable wireless network environments. It requires some facilities in the wireless environments so that to overcome the difficulties of unreliable wireless link, mobility and mobile devices capability limitation. This paper presents a fault-tolerant Web page access scheme, which uses mobile agents to facilitate seamless logging of access activities for recovery from failure. Compared with other schemes by performance analysis, our scheme keeps its efficiency with the additional fault-tolerant characteristic.
