| Summary: | Abstract: "Mobile computing is a rapidly emerging trend in distributed computing. The new mobile computing environment presents many challenges due to the mobile nature of the hosts. There has been a lot of past work on locating strategies, connection oriented protocols, and modification of distributed algorithms for mobile hosts. However, there has been no research on the recovery of a distributed mobile system, upon the failure of a mobile host. In this technical report we present recovery schemes for a distributed mobile environment. These strategies need to be different from the traditional fault-tolerance approaches because of the resource limitations of mobile computing environment. We also present a general simulation model for a distributed mobile environment. We have identified the trade-offs for the recovery schemes, and performed simulations to evaluate the trade-offs to determine the environments where a particular recovery scheme is best suited." |
