Broadcast disks are suited for disseminating information to a large number of clients in mobile computing environments. In broadcast disks, the server continuously and repeatedly broadcasts all data items in the database to clients without specific requests. The clients monitor the broadcast channel and retrieve data items as they arrive on the broadcast channel. The broadcast channel then becomes a disk from which clients can retrieve data items. In this paper, we propose a cache conscious concurrency control ($C^4$) scheme to preserve the consistency of client transactions, when the values of broadcast data items are updated at the server. $C^4$ scheme is novel in the sense that it can reduce the response time of client transactions with minimal control information to be broadcast from the server. This is achieved by the judicious caching strategy of the clients.

The broadcast environment has asymmetric communication aspect that is typically much greater communication bandwidth available from server to clients than in the opposite direction. In addition, most of mobile computing systems allow mostly read-only transactions from mobile clients for retrieving different types of information such as stock data, traffic information and mews updates. Since previous concurrency control protocols, however, do not consider such a particular characteristics, the performance degradation occurs when previous schemes are applied to the broadcast environment. In this paper, we propose the efficient concurrency control for query transaction in broadcast environment. The following requirements are satisfied by adapting weak consistency that is the appropriate correctness criterion of read-only transactions: (1) the mutual consistency of data maintained by the server and read by clients (2) the currency of data read by clients. We also use the serialization graph scheme to check the weak consistency efficiently. As a result, we improved a performance by reducing unnecessary aborts and restarts of read-only transactions caused when global serializability was adopted.

Mobile devices such as cellular phones and PDA become a part of our life by extreme improvement of Wireless internet and arriving the age of Ubiquitous. Especially it makes increasing rapidly the expectations about a field of remote control that is great advantage of Mobile devices. Existing computer remote control systems are hard to meet user's appropriate manage when error happened because Clients could not recognize the state of several remote controlled computers which connected to web server. This paper Implementation remote computer control system that immediately after errors happen by send error massages in the from of a SMS to client by set the clients with cellular phone that most generally used Mobile devices.

Data broadcast has received much attention as a very efficient method for disseminating data items in mobile environment with large number of mobile clients. In this approach, a database server periodically and continuously broadcasts data items through wireless channels and clients perform read-only transactions by accessing necessary data items from the air. While broadcasting, the server must also process update transactions on the database, which raises an obstacle for client's accessing consistent data. In this research, we propose a new algorithm SCDSC(Serialization Checking with DirtySet on Commit) which is an alternative for solving the concurrency control problem efficiently. The SCDSC is a kind of optimistic concurrency control in that a client checks the consistency of data using a DirtySet as a part of data broadcast when it commits its transaction. In each broadcast cycle, the server updates and disseminates the DirtySet with newly changed data items for last few cycles in the sliding window approach. We perform an analysis and a simulation study to evaluate the performance of our SCDSC algorithm in terms of data consistency and data currency.

현재 모바일 시스템에서는 무선 인터넷이 보급됨에 따라 개인 휴대용 단말 장치(PDA)와 같은 모바일 PC를 이용하여 실시간으로 Server에 접속할 수 있다. 예를 들면 모바일을 이용한 진료 시스템에서는 원격으로 임상 정보 및 환자 정보 등을 볼 수 있다. 모바일 PC로 이러한 정보를 볼 수 있다는 것은 일반 PC로 진료 시스템에 접속하여 사용했었던 기존의 방식보다 편리성, 이동성 면에서 매우 좋은 평가를 받고 있다. 그러나 휴대성을 목적으로 만들어진 모바일 PC는 작은 Display 장치로 인하여 진료에 한계가 있고 원격 통신을 하기에는 많은 Client의 요구를 한 Server에서 처리하기는 매우 힘들다. 따라서 본 논문은 이런 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 X-ray나 MRI 등의 진료 이미지를 다양한 Server에서 처리하여 단말 장치에 전송하고 효율적인 다중처리시스템을 제안한다.

Although the reuse of the cached data for scrolling the map reduces the amount of passed data between client and server, it needs the conversions of data coordinates, selective deletion of objects, cache compaction and object structuring step in the clients. The conversion is a time- intensive operation due to limited resources of mobile phones such as low computing power, small memory. Therefore, in order to control the map efficiently in the vector map service based mobile phones, it is necessary to study the methods which reuse cached objects for reducing wireless network bandwidth and overwhelming the limited resources of mobile phones as well. This paper proposes the methods of reusing pre-received spatial objects for map control in the mobile vector map service system based on client-server architecture. The experiments conducted on the Web GIS systems with real data show that the proposed method is appropriate to map services for mobile phone. We also analyze the advantages and drawbacks between the reuse of cached data and transmission of raw data respectively.

Mobile office is becoming common as advances in mobile devices such as PDAs, Smart-phones, or wireless Internet. In this paper, we construct a mobile office environment on a geotechnical information system(GIS). Especially, web services and XML technology combined with SOA (service oriented services) are adopted for various types of mobile devices and services in a minimum cost. Web service and XML can provide an excellent SW reusability, extensibility, and interoperability even for heterogeneous distributed systems. Applications can exploit web services by just knowing server's address. Prototype system integrates a client in Visual Basic.Net and server in Java via the web services and XML data exchange. We verify effectiveness of the approach through the implementation of prototype system.

Broadcast disks are suited for disseminating information to a large number of clients in mobile computing environments. In broadcast disks, the server continuously and repeatedly broadcasts all data items in the database to clients without specific requests. The clients monitor the broadcast channel and retrieve data items as they arrive on the broadcast channel. The broadcast channel then becomes a disk from which clients can retrieve data items. This paper proposes a Timestamp based Concurrency Control (TCC) scheme to preserve the consistency of read-only client transactions, when the values of broadcast data items are updated at the server. Previous schemes tried to reduce transaction aborts by consuming considerable amount of downlink communication from the server to clients for transferring control information. On the other hand, the TCC uses a timestamp field of each data item to describe execution order of server transactions. Clients can allow more transaction executions by checking consistency of their read-only transactions with timestamps of data items. As a result, the TCC can reduce the abort ratio of client transactions with minimal control information to be broadcast from the server.

Compared with the desktop, the MIDP on J2ME has many limitations on memory capacity, screen size, networking ability and processing speed. In addition, screens vary with device providers in size, and service platforms vary with mobile service providers. These factors require additional functions to server and cause overheads of the server. On this paper, we propose the wav to reduce overheads of the server and to overcome disadvantages of the J2ME clients, with the server that provides the service of data in XML document type and the client on MIDP that is developed including the kXML parser.

In existing internet, e-mail protocols including POP3 and IMAP4, provide e-mail services fir exchanging messages with texts, hypertext and images as well. For the e-mail services in wireless mobile network, mobile e-mail service providers have to install a mobile exclusive e-mail server or have to convert e-mail to mobile exclusive e-mail with wireless application format in case of POP3 protocol. In the e-mail service of IMAP4 case known as web-mail, it is difficult to view e-mail directly from server without IMAP4 mobile client because e-mail is stored in mail server side with remote file server. In either case, it also has the problems of viewing the e-mail of hypertext and image information at mobile. This paper provides e-mail extraction engine with image and hypertext conversion facilities that can be applied in wireless mobile internet and it is optimized in mobile communication environments such as a small display, small size of memory with web-mail protocol based on IMAP4 as well as POP3 mail protocol.
