Mobile Computing Research
In the
future, mobile computing will include access by mobile units to databases
located in a fixed computer network. We have previously proposed a model
for transaction processing, Kangaroo Transaction, in the mobile environment
which builds on multidatabase global transactions and split transactions.
This transaction model is the first to capture both the data and movement
behaviors of mobile transactions. We have also looked at recovery issues
for mobile transactions and caching at the mobile unit. A major thrust for
the SMU DBGROUP research team in the next five years will be to further
investigate Location Dependent Data and a global architecture for
ubiquitous data broadcast.
