Due to mobility, energy limitations, and unreliable wireless channels, applications running on mobile devices suffer from faults such as temporary disconnection and data loss. We, therefore, need a fault tolerance mechanism to guarantee their smooth working and performance. In this paper, we present a novel proxy-based uncoordinated checkpointing scheme with pessimistic message logging for efficient fault recovery in mobile Grid system. Simulation results show that this scheme is reliable, efficient and, at the same time, consumes less network traffic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
