A Fault-Tolerant Mobile Computing Model Based On Scalable Replica

Abstract

The most frequent challenge faced by mobile user is stay connected with online data, while disconnected or poorly connected store the replica of critical data. Nomadic users require replication to store copies of critical data on their mobile machines. Existing replication services do not provide all classes of mobile users with the capabilities they require, which include: the ability for direct synchronization between any two replicas, support for large numbers of replicas, and detailed control over what files reside on their local (mobile) replica. Existing peer-topeer solutions would enable direct communication, but suffers from dramatic scaling problems in the number of replicas, limiting the number of overall users and impacting performance. Roam is a replication system designed to satisfy the requirements of the mobile user. Roam is based on the Ward Model, replication architecture for mobile environments. Using the Ward Model and new distributed algorithms, Roam provides a scalable replication solution for the mobile user. We describe the motivation, design, and implementation of Roam and report its performance. Replication is extremely important in mobile environments because nomadic users require local copies of important data.

A Novel Framework for Electronic Global Health Record Access

“…The complexity [24]. of medical information is an obvious brake [16,18]. It seems clear nowadays that the health information systems must evolve in order to incorporate the semantic [25,28], not like an ad-hoc evolution, but as a fundamental change of the architecture in the heart of information system.…”

Robust Lossless Semi Fragile Information Protection in Images

“…This overcomes the difficulty of floating point conversion that occurs after embedding. Some other approaches also can be employed to improve the performance [42][43][44][45][46][47][48].…”
