A Web-based nomadic computing system
نویسندگان
چکیده
CoolTown oers a Web model for supporting nomadic users, based on the convergence of Web technology, wireless networks and portable devices. This paper describes how CoolTown ties Web resources to physical objects and places, and how users interact with resources using the information appliances they carry, from laptops to smart watches. Enabling the automatic discovery of URLs from our physical surroundings, and using localized Web servers for directories, we create location-aware but ubiquitous systems. On top of this infrastructure we leverage device connectivity to support communication services. Ó 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملx-ICP: A Mobile Web Caching Protocol
Internet access by nomadic users roaming on a mobile network presents a scenario of access that is substantially different from the wired network. With current Web caching technology, accessing the Web while mobile is slow not only because of bandwidth limitations, but also due to moving away from the home Web caching proxy. Furthermore, current Web caching strategies ignore Web access patterns...
