Efficient dynamic resource specifications [PDF]

Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Mobile data management, 2005
In the effort to reach beyond 3G, researchers have been actively looking at utilizing new models for network based services. Small mobile, pervasive and ubiquitous devices will benefit from networked services and computation provided by utility computing providers and the virtual organizations that lease resources from them. As an additional factor, we
