there
seems to be general agreement that some sort of
|
|
|
|
application
partitioning is a good thing:
|
|
|
|
n |
reduce bandwidth requirements
|
|
|
|
n |
overcome
the physical limitations of the mobile computer
|
|
|
| – |
one
open question: how do you partition and when?
|
|
|
|
n |
static
partitioning is easier (and we will see examples for
|
|
|
WWW
later)
|
|
|
|
n |
however,
computation environment can change radically
|
|
|
during
execution:
|
|
|
|
– |
MH
moves to area with better networking infrastructure (maybe
|
|
gets
back into his docking station)
|
|
|
|
– |
PCMCIA
cards all of a sudden add more memory
|
|
|
|
– |
radio
signal is dropped completely temporarily
|
|
|
|
n |
implies
growing interest in dynamic application partitioning
