Today's wireless networks and devices support the dynamic composition of mobile distributed systems, according to device connectivity. This has in particular led to the
Distributed systems using mobile computing do not have the traditional ACID properties (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation and Durability), and, therefore, consistency problems may...
This paper describes two self-optimisation techniques that have been employed in the design of two exemplar agent-based mobile computing systems, namely Gullivers Genie and the Ag...

To manage load on large and dynamic networks we have developed Autonomous Mobile Programs (AMPs) that periodically use a cost model to decide where to execute. A disadvantage of d...
In a mobile computing system, caching data items at the mobile clients is important to reduce the data access delay in a unreliable and low bandwidth mobile network. However, effi...
