Isolating Transactions on Replicated Content Going Mobile

Mobile databases are a centerpiece of the dramatic growth of data-centric applications for mobile computing, nomadic communication and wireless networks. Replication of database content is useful in client-server and peer- to-peer configurations of mobile distributed databases. We present an adaptation of generalized snapshot isolation for transactions on content data in mobile networks. This solution overcomes various limitations of known approaches to manage mobile database transactions.
