A breakthrough sourcebook to the challenges and solutions formobile database systems
This text enables readers to effectively manage mobile databasesystems (MDS) and data dissemination via wireless channels. Theauthor explores the mobile communication platform and analyzes itsuse in the development of a distributed database management system.Workable solutions for key challenges in wireless informationmanagement are presented throughout the text.
Following an introductory chapter that includes importantmilestones in the history and development of mobile dataprocessing, the text provides the information, tools, and resourcesneeded for MDS management, including:
* Fundamentals of wireless communication
* Location and handoff management
* Fundamentals of conventional database management systems and whyexisting approaches are not adequate for mobile databases
* Concurrency control mechanism schemes
* Data processing and mobility
* Management of transactions
* Mobile database recovery schemes
* Data dissemination via wireless channels
Case studies and examples are used liberally to aid in theunderstanding and visualization of complex concepts. Variousexercises enable readers to test their grasp of each topic beforeadvancing in the text. Each chapter also concludes with a summaryof key concepts as well as references for further study.
Professionals in the mobile computing industry, particularlye-commerce, will find this text indispensable. With its extensiveuse of case studies, examples, and exercises, it is also highlyrecommended as a graduate-level textbook.
