Abstract
In a distributed environment, static and mobile behaviors interleave at both logical and physical level. In this paper we identify not only those elements that can feature mobile behaviour but also types of such behaviors at each of the two levels. We believe that the synchronization between the mobility at the logical level and the one at the physical level is a major requirement of a mobile environment. This paper discusses authors’ view on synchronization - passive and reactive behavior. A mathematical description of a reactive behavior is presented also. Finally a survey of existing mobile systems from the synchronization point of view is presented.KeywordsMobile EnvironmentLogical LevelReactive BehaviorPhysical LevelAgent PlatformThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
