Middleware Services for Network Disruption Tolerant Mobile Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The demand fo r mobile application services has increased recently. However mobile wireless access technologies so far are not mature enough to address concerns with the reliab ility of mobile 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.

A Middleware for Constructing Highly Available, Fault Tolerant, and Attack Tolerant Services
This paper describes the design of a middleware that provides support for constructing highly available, secure, fault-tolerant, and attack-tolerant services. The central component of this middleware is a group communication service that comprises of six network protocols: atomic broadcast, group membership, failure detection, attack detection, group access control, and secure intermember commu...

The client/server paradigm in distributed systems leads to multi-stakeholder architectures with messages exchanged over connections between client applications and services. In practice, there are many hidden obstacles for client developers caused by unstable network connections, unavailable or faulty services or limited connectivity. Even if many frameworks and middleware solutions have alread...
متن کاملTowards Middleware Services for Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Applications
Mobile ad-hoc networks are typically very dynamic networks in terms of available communication partners, available network resources, connectivity, etc. Furthermore, the end-user devices are very heterogeneous, ranging from high-end lap-tops to low-end PDAs and mobile phones. Traditionally, middleware is used to abstract from this heterogeneity and enable the application programmer to focus on ...
متن کاملInteroperating with Services in a Mobile Environment
Mobile computing is characterised by users carrying portable devices that allow communication between people and continuous access to networked services independent of their physical location. A mobile application must discover and interoperate with the required application services available to them in their present location. However, these services will be developed upon a range of middleware...
متن کاملSITAN: Services for Ad Hoc Networks with Unknown Participants
The evolution of mobile devices with various capabilities (e.g., smartphones and tablets), together with their ability to collaborate in impromptu ad hoc networks, opens new opportunities for the design of innovative distributed applications. The development of these applications has however to address several difficulties, such as the unreliability of the network, the imprecise set of particip...
