Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Ongoing trends within the mobile computing industry lead us to believe that many of the applications we can expect to see in day to day use in future mobile and wireless networks will be real-time and collaborative in nature. We believe that current mobile systems do not adequately support the needs of such applications. Moreover, systems which specifically try to support real-time collaborative applications assume relatively reliable network conditions, and as such do not perform well in mobile environments where network outages are commonplace and network latencies are extremely high. This project aims to resolve these issues by developing a software platform which will expose a novel programming paradigm to these applications, thus allowing them to react intelligently to these harsh network conditions.More specifically, the research will address the issues of providing flexible, efficient and scalable synchronisation of shared state between applications in harsh network environments where current schemes perform poorly.
