Adaptable Mobile Transactions and Environment Awareness

چکیده
Mobile environments are characterized by high variability (e.g. variable bandwidth, disconnections, different communication prices) as well as by limited mobile host resources. Such characteristics lead to high rates of transaction failures and unpredictable execution costs. This paper introduces an Adaptable Mobile Transaction model (AMT) that allows defining transactions with several execution alternatives associated to a particular context. The principal goal is to adapt transaction execution to context variations. An analytical study shows that using AMTs increases commit probabilities and that it is possible to choose the way transactions will be executed according to their costs. In addition, the middleware TransMobi is proposed. It manages environment awareness and implements the AMT model with suitable protocols. RÉSUMÉ. Les environnements mobiles sont caractérisés par une grande variabilité (bande passante variable, déconnexions, prix de communication différents, etc.) ainsi que par des unités mobiles à ressources limitées. Ces caractéristiques entraînent un nombre important de défaillances transactionnels et des coûts d’exécution imprévus. Cet article introduit un modèle de transactions mobiles adaptables (AMT) permettant de définir des transactions avec plusieurs alternatives d’exécution. Le principal objectif est d’adapter l’exécution des transactions aux variations du contexte. Une étude analytique montre que les AMT augmentent la probabilité de validation et qu’il est possible de choisir le type d’exécution en fonction de son coût. Nous proposons également l’intergiciel TransMobi gérant la perception de l’environnement et implantant le modèle AMT à l’aide de protocoles appropriés.

Defining an Adaptable Mobile Transaction Service
Mobile environments are characterized by frequent variations in connection and bandwidth rates as well as by restrained resources on portable devices. This variability complicates data management and in particular, transaction execution. We consider that to deal with environment variability it is necessary to be adaptable. This paper proposes both a Mobile Transaction Service (MTS) and an Adapt...
متن کاملAn Adaptable Mobile Transaction Model
Mobile environments are characterized by high variability (e.g. variable bandwidth, disconnections, different communication prices) as well as by limited mobile host resources. Such characteristics lead to high rates of transaction failures and variable execution costs. To raise the success rate of transactions and to have a minimal control on resources consumption we claim that both applicatio...
متن کاملAn Architecture for Adaptive and Adaptable Mobile Applications for Physically Handicapped People
Context-awareness is an important capability needed in devices in a ubiquitous computing environment. Ubiquitous computing devices use different types of sensors along with the user’s interaction history in order to collect and store data. This data is then used to adapt the user’s behavior to suit the current environment. In addition to the explicit modifications by user control, the behavior ...
متن کاملTowards an Adaptable Message Oriented Middleware for Mobile Environment
This paper presents our work to propose an architecture of a middleware intended to mobile environments. We argue that Message Oriented Middleware (MOM) offers naturally an effective solution for some problems of this type of environment. In particular, it adopt a communication mode which deals better with frequent disconnections and terminal mobility. Unfortunately, current MOMs are characteri...
متن کاملAdaptable Transaction Consistency for Mobile Environments
Consistency criteria adopted for the transactional management of shared objects define the degree of allowable interleaving between concurrent transactions. This paper presents an application aware adaptable framework for mobile environments that uses an adaptable Quality of Service specification. The utility of such a specification is illustrated by the use of an adaptable transaction consiste...
