Supporting online services in environments constrained by communication

Abstract : With the recent rapid growth of the World Wide Web, the advent of commodity internet access via modems, and the slower but steady proliferation of mobile computing devices, more and more users are accessing internet services from computationally capable machines connected via low-speed communication links. While many such services only offer access to static, unchanging documents, the number of "online" services offering access to frequently updated information is growing rapidly. While systems have been developed to optimize document access in the presence of constrained communication, their approaches do not handle access to online services well.
