Just in time multimedia distribution in a mobile computing environment

Poor data rates often hinder the timely dissemination of multimedia content to users in a mobile computing environment. We describe an approach, based on dynamic and proactive precaching, to overcome these limitations. This approach, which we term intelligent precaching, is realized through the innovative deployment of intelligent agents on mobile devices.
