Movement based Asynchronous Recovery System in Mobile Computing System

Abstract

Mobile Computing System involves mobile communication, mobile hardware and mobile software. It is a distributed system in which one of the processes is known as Mobile Node. The Mobile Computing System has some limitations such as Low Bandwidth of wireless network, lack of stable storage, mobility handling, disconnection of Mobile Nodes (MNs) and limited battery life. Researchers are working to overcome the limitations of asynchronous movement based recovery system, which is based on message logging & checkpointing, and to reduce recovery & transfer cost. In this review paper, we have taken these two objectives and proposed the solutions to overcome these limitations and directions for the future researches such as asynchronous recovery, independent checkpointing and handling of concurrent failures.
