The recent advances in wireless technologies are offering new opportunities for ubiquitous information access in on-board mobile computing. Realising an effective on-board mobile computing infrastructure poses significant technical challenges at both application and data transport layers. Our approach features the integration of techniques from satellite communications, anticipatory transport protocols, and personalised data management systems. The final outcome will be generic techniques and concepts for effective and efficient on-board access to global information sources and services (e.g., weather information, stock quotes, and infotainment). These concepts and techniques will have wider application scope, such as aeronautical, maritime and terrestrial public transport systems.Read moreRead less
PROVISION OF ARBITARY COMPLEX SERVICES ON THE MOBILE INTERNET. Within the next few years, mobile and wireless access to the Internet will very likely become the norm. These networks will use widely different networking technologies. Moreover, the services provided, will be accessed by the users using a wide variety of devices, with significantly different capabilities. Thus to provide seamless access, the system must adapt it self to the operating environment. These adaptations need to occur at ....PROVISION OF ARBITARY COMPLEX SERVICES ON THE MOBILE INTERNET.

Moreover, the services provided, will be accessed by the users using a wide variety of devices, with significantly different capabilities. Thus to provide seamless access, the system must adapt it self to the operating environment. These adaptations need to occur at different levels of the system, in isolation. This project is aimed at investigating the implications of adaptation decisions being taken in isolation at different levels on the system stability and performance.Read moreRead less
