Abstract

Mobile devices are subject to severe constraints like restricted IO, processing and storage capabilities or intermittent connectivity. These issues of course also pertain to applications running on the mobile hardware, and for instance with regard to processing and displaying vast amounts of data or the special requirements imposed by supporting transactions, database and information systems are particularly affected. Mobile agents have frequently been suggested as a remedy for at least some of these problems, but only few implementations actually utilising them are known. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a distributed database system applying mobile agent technology to support mobile devices. In particular, being based on the agent platform JADELEAP, it allows a P2P usage of PDAs, which is so far not supported by major DBS vendors.
