In the literature, there exit two types of cache consistency maintenance algorithms for mobile
computing environments: stateless and stateful. In a stateless approach, the server is …

This paper proposes distributed cache invalidation mechanism (DCIM), a client-based
cache consistency scheme that is implemented on top of a previously proposed architecture …

The debut of small, inexpensive, yet powerful portable computers has coincided with the
exponential growth of the Internet, making it possible to access computing resources and …

In a mobile environment, users of portable computers can query databases over the wireless
communication channels. To reduce contention on the limited bandwidth of the wireless …

In mobile computing environments, vital resources like battery power and wireless channel
bandwidth impose significant challenges in ubiquitous information access. In this paper, we …
