A research status report on adaptation for mobile data access
Brian D. Noble, Mahadev Satyanarayanan · ACM SIGMOD Record · 1995
Mobility demands the systems be adaptive . One approach is to make adaptation transparent to applications, allowing them to remain unchanged. An alternative approach views adaptation as a collaborative partnership between applications and the system. This paper is a status report on our research on both fronts. We report on our considerable experience with application-transparent adaptation in the Coda File System. We also describe our ongoing work on application-aware adaptation in Odyssey.
