A Framework for Two Phase Reconciliation in Mobile Databases

With the advent and increasing popularity of mobile devices, new challenges arise in mobile databases. A key challenge is to deal with the reconciliation phenomena when a mobile client reconnects after being disconnected. Widely employed mobile databases use nowadays an extended clientserver architecture which suffers from some drawbacks such as scalability; security and traffic congestion and bottleneck around the server. We will introduce a novel three tier architecture for mobile databases to overcome the above mentioned shortcomings. We will also provide two phase reconciliation protocol along with the necessary algorithms to clarify the working principles of the proposed mobile database architecture.
