Abstract
The demand fo r mobile application services has increased recently. However mob ile wireless access technologies so far are not mature enough to address concerns with the reliab ility of mob ile services. Therefore, mobile services are prone to failures caused by disruption of active wireless access network connections due to device movement. It is important to have proper mechanisms for managing mobile application services in case of loss of network connections. In this paper, we propose a middleware services that transparently performs required functionality to users in order to provide efficient mobile services in case of network disruption. Such middleware service provides an effective disconnection tolerant mobile application services.
Highlights
Mobile co mputing is a computing environment allowing a mobile device to connect to a network wirelessly while moving freely
We investigate a novel architecture for network d isruption tolerant mobile applications, providing effective and efficient management for mobile services, network connections, resources and context handling
Mobile applications that are running on mobile devices need mobile services provided by servers in order to be played as mobile mu ltimedia applicat ions, mobile interactive applications, and mobile web applications
Summary
Mobile co mputing is a computing environment allowing a mobile device to connect to a network wirelessly while moving freely. Stationary and mobile co mputing are distinct because the limited resources on mobile devices and the capacity of wireless network connectivity gives mobile devices a different focus. Because of these distinct features, the role of networks should be considered carefully when designing and implementing mobile application services. Ho wever mob ile wireless access technologies so far are not mature enough to address concerns with the reliability of mobile services. We investigate a novel architecture for network d isruption tolerant mobile applications, providing effective and efficient management for mobile services, network connections, resources and context handling.
