Book Data Dissemination in Wireless Computing Environments

Download or read book Data Dissemination in Wireless Computing Environments written by Kian-Lee Tan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-06-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our increasingly mobile world the ability to access information on demand at any time and place can satisfy people's information needs as well as confer on them a competitive advantage. The emergence of battery-operated, low-cost and portable computers such as palmtops and PDAs, coupled with the availability and exploitation of wireless networks, have made possible the potential for ubiquitous computing. Through the wireless networks, portable equipments will become an integrated part of existing distributed computing environments, and mobile users can have access to data stored at information servers located at the static portion of the network even while they are on the move. Traditionally, information is retrieved following a request-response model. However, this model is no longer adequate in a wireless computing environment. First, the wireless channel is unreliable and the bandwidth is low compared to the wired counterpart. Second, the environment is essentially asymmetric with a large number of mobile users accessing a small number of servers. Third, battery-operated portable devices can typically operate only for a short time because of the short battery lifespan. Thus, clients are expected to be disconnected most of the time. To overcome these limitations, there has been a proliferation of research efforts on designing data delivery mechanisms to support wireless computing more effectively. Data Dissemination in Wireless Computing Environments focuses on such mechanisms. The purpose is to provide a thorough and comprehensive review of recent advances on energy-efficient data delivery protocols, efficient wireless channel bandwidth utilization, reliable broadcasting and cache invalidation strategies for clients with long disconnection time. Besides surveying existing methods, this book also compares and evaluates some of the more promising schemes.

Book Wireless Information Highways

Download or read book Wireless Information Highways written by Dimitrios Katsaros and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The field of wireless networks and mobile computing is an area of very active investigation. Though, the majority of the research and development, focuses on devising efficient communication protocols so as to provide a stable communication channel to allow the information flow freely among the mobile clients. Recently, the investigation turned its interest also to the problem of providing advanced data management functionalities to the clients. In order to support data-intensive applications over the wireless medium, several techniques have been proposed addressing issues like security, quality of service, service discovery, data dissemination, location management, location-based and transactional applications. Although much has been written, especially recently, in this rapidly growing field, no other book treats problems in wireless networks from a computer science perspective, although a number of books that follow the engineering approach exist. Wireless Information Highways provides and excellent introduction and balanced coverage of the most important topics related to the methodologies developed to support data management in asymmetric communication environments. This book is based on a number of self-contained chapters and provides an opportunity for practitioners and researchers to explore the connection between various computer science techniques and develop solutions to problems that arise in the rapidly emerging field of wireless networks.
