Abstract
There is a growing trend in developing system for distributed mobile system that supports services - job flow management, video conference, replicated data management and resource allocation. Supporting these services, applications have to use causally ordered message delivery. Previous proposals that provide causally ordered message delivery have problems such as communication overhead, message delaying, scalability, computing overload of mobile host. In this paper, we proposed efficient protocol for causally ordered message delivery using the methods that MSS maintains dependency information matrix between MSS and MH, Piggybacking dependency information about each immediate predecessor message. Proposed algorithm, when compared with previous proposals, provides a low message overhead, and low probability of unnecessary inhibition in delivering messages. Also, it consider resource restriction of MH and low bandwidth of wireless communication by computing most of algorithm at MSS, and reduce processing delay by executing causally ordered message delivery a unit of MH.
