Middleware Services for Network Disruption Tolerant Mobile Applications

The demand for mobile application services has increased recently. However mobile wireless access technologies so far are not mature enough to address concerns with the reliability of mobile services. Therefore, mobile services are prone to failures caused by disruption of active wireless access network connections due to device movement. It is important to have proper mechanisms for managing mobile application services in case of loss of network connections. In this paper, we propose a middleware services that transparently performs required functionality to users in order to provide efficient mobile services in case of network disruption. Such middleware service provides an effective disconnection tolerant mobile application services.
