Addressing mobility issues in mobile environment

In this paper we present an approach to overcome some of the mobility based challenges in the utilization of a mobile environment. As mobile devices utilize external resources in the mobile environment to overcome their limited capacity or performance, new challenges arise due to the mobility. In our approach the mobile device utilizing the resources moves in the mobile environment resulting connection loss. Unlike in task migration approaches our solution keeps the task execution in its original place and only the result is routed back to the mobile device. As we are using our previously implemented PeerHood middleware for the experiments the main challenge is in extending its operations to support routing in the mobile environment. This is done by extending the existing device discovery and by implementing routing service on top of PeerHood.
