A Programming Interface for Application-Aware Adaptation in Mobile Computing
Brian D. Noble, Morgan Price, and M. Satyanarayanan Carnegie Mellon University
UNIX hosts configured for network operation typically hang, or freeze, when temporarily disconnected from the network. This failure is unacceptable to the user of a mobile host who purposely disconnects the host from the network in order to move it to another location not serviced by a network connection. This paper describes an approach that automatically enables a system to continue to function, in a diminished capacity, when disconnected from the network.
