“…MDBAS [23] is a prototype that exploits the possibility to efficiently perform distributed executions of mobile agents to transparently manage distributed database transactions. Similar to the previous approach [22], it uses JDBC API to access underlying database and takes advantage of being in the same host as the service.…”

“…The authors claim that the DBMS-Aglet Framework allows the aglet to be portable, light, independent, autonomous, flexible, and robust. Vlach et al (2000) implemented a system called mobile database agent sys-tem (MDBAS). The system intends to integrate heterogeneous databases under one virtual global database schema to transparently manage distributed execution.…”

Creating a global information-sharing environment in the presence of autonomy and heterogeneity of data sources is a difficult task. When adding mobility and wireless medium to this mix, the constraints on bandwidth, connectivity, and resources worsen the problem. Our past research in global information sharing systems resulted in the design, implementation, and prototype of a search engine, the summary schemas model, which supports imprecise global accesses to the data sources while preserving local autonomy. We extended the scope of our search engine by incorporating mobile agent technology. The use of mobile agents alleviates many problems associated with wireless communication. We devised and implemented the MAMDAS system, which applies mobile agent technology in a mobile data access system framework. As shown by our experimental study, MAMDAS achieved better performance, scalability, portability, and robustness compared to its predecessors.

“…Within the scope of multidatabases, where clients and servers are connected over a reliable network infrastructure, researchers have addressed issues such as autonomy, heterogeneity, transaction management, concurrency control, transparency, and query resolution [1,19]. With the introduction of pervasive computing and mobile devices into global computing, mobile clients can now have the higher flexibility of accessing the information from different locations with varying network connectivity.…”
