Commit protocol for low-powered mobile clients

Technical advances in the development of portable computers and wireless co mmunications enable users to take part in distributed computing even while moving. The resulting environment is subject to be constrained by the mobil ity of users and the nature of the cordless medium. In this paper we propos e a commit protocol for providing low-powered mobile hosts with two phase c ommit service which is a powerful technique to implement atomic actions in distributed systems, with some important aspects such as low power consumpt ion, efficient mobility management, subject oriented service binding and ef fective disconnection handling to well adapt to a mobile computing environm ent.
