Book Replicated Data Management for Mobile Computing

Download or read book Replicated Data Management for Mobile Computing written by Douglas Brian Terry and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2008 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing data in a mobile computing environment invariably involves caching or replication. In many cases, a mobile device has access only to data that is stored locally, and much of that data arrives via replication from other devices, PCs, and services. Given portable devices with limited resources, weak or intermittent connectivity, and security vulnerabilities, data replication serves to increase availability, reduce communication costs, foster sharing, and enhance survivability of critical information. Mobile systems have employed a variety of distributed architectures from client-server caching to peer-to-peer replication. Such systems generally provide weak consistency models in which read and update operations can be performed at any replica without coordination with other devices. The design of a replication protocol then centers on issues of how to record, propagate, order, and filter updates. Some protocols utilize operation logs, whereas others replicate state. Systems might provide best-effort delivery, using gossip protocols or multicast, or guarantee eventual consistency for arbitrary communication patterns, using recently developed pairwise, knowledge-driven protocols. Additionally, systems must detect and resolve the conflicts that arise from concurrent updates using techniques ranging from version vectors to read-write dependency checks. This lecture explores the choices faced in designing a replication protocol, with particular emphasis on meeting the needs of mobile applications. It presents the inherent trade-offs and implicit assumptions in alternative designs. The discussion is grounded by including case studies of research and commercial systems including Coda, Ficus, Bayou, Sybase's iAnywhere, and Microsoft's Sync Framework.

Book On Data Management in Pervasive Computing Environments

Download or read book On Data Management in Pervasive Computing Environments written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a framework to address new data management challenges introduced by data-intensive pervasive computing environments. These challenges include a spatio-temporal variation of data and data source availability lack of a global catalog and schema and no guarantee of reconnection among peers due to the serendipitous nature of the environment. An important aspect of our solution is to treat devices as semi-autonomous peers guided in their interactions by profiles and context. The profiles are grounded in a semantically rich language and represent information about users. devices and data described in terms of "beliefs", "desires", and "intentions". We present a prototype implementation of this framework over combined Bluetooth and Ad-Hoc 802.11 networks. and present experimental and simulation results that validate our approach and measure system performance.

Book Context Aware Pervasive Systems and Applications

Download or read book Context Aware Pervasive Systems and Applications written by Parikshit N. Mahalle and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook explores the current challenges in and future prospects of context-aware pervasive systems and applications. The phenomenal advances in broadband technology and ubiquitous access to the Internet have transformed Internet computing into the Internet of Things (IoT), which is now evolving toward the Internet of Everything. Modern scientific, engineering, and business applications are increasingly dependent on machine-to-machine communication, wherein there is less human intervention. In turn, this creates a need for context-aware pervasive systems and applications in which RFID, sensors, and smartphones play a key role. The book provides an essential overview of context, context management, and how to perform context management in various use cases. In addition, it addresses context-aware computing and personalization, various architectures for context-aware systems, and security issues. The content is explained using straightforward language and easy-to-follow examples, case studies, technical descriptions, procedures, algorithms, and protocols for context-aware systems.

Book Context sensitive Quality Data Management for Pervasive Computing Environments

Download or read book Context sensitive Quality Data Management for Pervasive Computing Environments written by John Martin O'Donoghue and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ubiquitous environments generate large quantities of data, originating from backend servers, portable devices and wireless mobile sensors. Pervasive sensing devices that monitor properties of the environment (including human beings) can produce a large data source. The unprocessed datasets may include data that is faulty and irrelevant, and data that is important and useful. If not managed correctly the large amount of data from a data-rich pervasive environment may result in information overload or delivery of incorrect information. Context-sensitive quality data management aims to gather, verify, process, and manage the multiple data sources in a pervasive environment in order to deliver high quality, relevant information to the end user. Managing the quality of data from different sources, correlating related data and making use of context are all essential in providing end users with accurate and meaningful data in real-time. This requirement is especially true for critical applications such as in a medical environment. This thesis presents the Data Management System (DMS) architecture. It is designed to deliver a quality of data service to its users. The DMS architecture employs an agent based middleware to intelligently and effectively manage all pervasive data sources, and to make use of context to deliver relevant information to the end-user. DMS components have been designed to manage: data validation; data consistency; context-based data delivery; knowledge management and distributed processing. The DMS components have been rigorously evaluated using various medical-based test cases. This thesis demonstrates a careful, precise approach to data based on the quality of the data and the context of its use. It emphasises the DMS architecture and the role of software agents in providing quality data management.

Book An Effective Power aware Data Management for Pervasive Computing Devices

Download or read book An Effective Power aware Data Management for Pervasive Computing Devices written by Byung-Won On and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Devices supporting Pervasive Computing (e.g., personal digital assistants and laptop computers) are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. Even an electronic textile garment will become pervaded in the near future. However, as such devices become more widely used, it is considerably important to overcome power constraints. In order to improve such power limitations, this paper considers the power-aware data management to extend data availability using data migration within a collection of devices. Former studies in data migration still have a challenge which data should be chosen automatically to migrate from a dying device in the collection. Too few data migration is not useful; on the other hand, too many data migration wastes computing resources and consumes unnecessary power. In this work, we focus on the tradeoff between the above methods and then propose two efficient power-aware data migration strategies: Migrate Most Frequently Used (MMFU) and Migrate Weighted Most Frequently Used (MWMFU). In our simulated environment, our schemes go halves on data miss rates and reduce the number of wasted data migration by average 35%, compared to the existing strategies such as Migrate All (MA) and Migrate Most Recently Used (MMRU)."

Book Profile Driven Data Management for Pervasive Environments

Download or read book Profile Driven Data Management for Pervasive Environments written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few years have seen significant work in mobile data management, typically based on the client/proxy/server model. Mobile/wireless devices are treated as clients that are data consumers only, while data sources are on servers that typically reside on the wired network. With the advent of "pervasive computing" environments an alternative scenario arises where mobile devices gather and exchange data from not just wired sources, but also from their ethereal environment and one another. This is accomplished using ad-hoc connectivity engendered by Bluetooth like systems. In this new scenario, mobile devices become both data consumers and producers. We describe the new data management challenges which this scenario introduces. We describe the design and present an implementation prototype of our framework, MoGATU, which addresses these challenges. An important component of our approach is to treat each device as an autonomous entity with its "goals" and "beliefs", expressed using a semantically rich language. We have implemented this framework over a combined Bluetooth and Ad-Hoc 802.11 network with clients running on a variety of mobile devices. We present experimental results validating our approach and measure system performance.
