Abstract

Rapid advances in hardware and wireless communication technology have made the concept of mobile computing a reality. Thus, evolving database technology needs to address the requirements of the future mobile user. The frequent disconnection and migration of the mobile user violate underlying presumptions about connectivity that exist in wired database systems and introduce new issues that affect transaction management. In this paper, we present the Pre‐Serialization (PS) transaction management technique for the mobile multidatabase environment. This technique addresses disconnection and migration and enforces a range of atomicity and isolation criteria. We also develop an analytical model to compare the performance of the PS technique to that of the Kangaroo model.
