Abstract

This paper deals with wireless applications that get downloaded, over the air, on handheld wireless devices (or mobile devices) and get executed there. Once running, they may need to interact with applications residing on remote wired servers. The motivation for this work is provided in part by the characteristics of the wireless computing environment. There are several implications of these characteristics that require a software architecture that reduces the load on the wireless link and supports disconnected operations. We present a responsibility-driven architecture that enables mobile thin-clients to interact with enterprise servers. We extend this architecture with mobile agents to reduce the load on the wireless link and support disconnected operations. The architecture is simple and easy to implement, but also effective, scalable, and capable of supporting multiple devices.
