Services to Support Consistency in Mobile Collaborative Applications

چکیده
This paper describes the design of services to support consistency in collaborative mobile applications. The requirements for application level consistency in groupware applications are discussed and it is argued that existing consistency services for mobile environments fail to address these requirements because they assume infrequent (write) sharing of information. We present the design of a group execution service called G-QEX which is designed to support consistency in mobile applications and includes features necessary to cope with the fluctuations in QoS which characterise mobile environments.

متن کاملAutonomous Decentralized Collaborative Applications: an architecture for collaborative information-dissemination applications
In this paper we describe a model or architecture for autonomous and decentralized collaborative applications to support scientific research, collaborative learning projects and in general collaborative work. We first describe the application environment we had in mind: the design of a peer-to-peer collaborative newspaper application in a large network of schools. We have identified a generic c...
متن کاملHigh level MANET protocol: Enhancing the communication support for mobile collaborative work
Mobile collaborative activities involve on-demand interactions among nomad users. Unavailability of communication support in the physical scenario where users are located cannot be a limitation to carry out such collaboration instances. Mobile workers can take advantage of the communication capability embedded in their mobile devices in order to create communication channels between them. The M...
متن کاملSupporting collaborative applications in a heterogeneous mobile environment
This paper describes the implementation and use of a platform designed to support collaborative multimedia applications in a mobile environment. The platform provides a programming interface compatible with emerging open systems standards and includes services for processing multimedia information. In addition, the platform provides feedback to applications and users on the state of their commu...
متن کاملIdentifying the Awareness Mechanisms for Mobile Collaborative Applications
The complexity of modeling collaborative systems has been broadly recognized by the CSCW community. Mobile collaborative applications are a particular case of those systems, where design requirements and constraints are even more complex than in stationary solutions. Design complexity in mobile application increases because mobility changes the interaction requirements of nomadic users and the ...
