Abstract :
An agent based paradigm is proposed for mobile computing. The fixed host deploys an agent in the mobile host that is provided with a rule or event-condition-based power of attorney, to act on its behalf. The rule application policy enforces that the transactions are either time and attribute sensitive or time and attribute tolerant. Issues related to rule compatibility, cache consistency, recovery and mobile-host dependencies are considered. Also we consider the relaxation of ACID and serializability properties of transactions in a mobile computing environment
