Abstract

This paper describes a dynamic service reconfiguration model where the proxy is composed of a chain of service objects called mobilets (pronounced as mo-be-lets), which can be actively deployed onto a network. This model offers flexibility because the chain of mobilets can be dynamically reconfigured to adapt to dynamic changes in the wireless environment, without interrupting service provision for other mobile nodes. We have realized the dynamic service reconfiguration model by crafting its design into a programmable infrastructure that forms the baseline architecture of the WebPADS (short for Web Proxy for Actively Deployable Services) system.
