Mobility support for Collaborative Real-time Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Today we are approaching a truly connected and wireless world where users can be always connected by switching between different carriers and providers. This paper presents an architecture which enables mobile media applications to operate across a wide range of wireless networks, gracefully handle network failures and share environmental information, such as packet loss-rate or available bandwidth with remote peers. The architecture is evaluated using a commercially available E-meeting application, Marratech Pro by seamlessly switching between three carriers; LAN, WLAN and GRPS.

Supporting Groupware in Mobile Networks
We present MaGMA (Mobility and Group Management Architecture), an architecture for groupware support in mobile networks. MaGMA’s main objective is enabling mobile users to use real-time group applications over the IP infrastructure. Our solutions address group management as well as support for QoS and seamless handoff. We illustrate the advantages of MaGMA using mathematical analysis and simula...
متن کاملMobility Support for Distributed Collaborative Teamwork
Following the trend in computer and network architecture towards smaller and lighter devices that are more or less constantly connected to the Internet through wireless access networks, mobile computing has emerged as a promising means to improve the possibilities of distributed collaborative teamwork. However, the mobility support implemented in state of the art collaboration software has hith...
متن کاملMobility Support for Replicated Real-Time Applications
Replicated real-time applications such as co-operative document editors have to continuously update a shared state, thus require low network delays. If we use such applications in mobile and weakly connected environments, state information often cannot be broadcasted immediately, and thus it is difficult to maintain consistency. We discuss this problem with the help of DreamTeam, our framework ...

متن کاملA General Framework for Real-Time Geocollaboration: Spatial Behavior Lock Graph
Nowadays, an important trend is the mobility for the development in global position system (GPS) which enable the users to pinpoint their position anywhere on earth. According to Neogeography (MTurner 2006), people can create their own maps and convey location information among friends and visitors. In fact, most work with geospatial data is carried out by groups (Maceachren and Brewer 2004). A...
