AMIGOS

As mentioned in the preface, this thesis is part of the Advanced Mobile Integration of General Operating Systems (AMIGOS) project which aims to design and implement extensions for standard operating systems. These extensions should transparently integrate mobile computers with stationary computers, regardless of operating systems and location of the mobile computers [1].

The vision of the AMIGOS project is:

"...to make the mobile office a reality without making a mobile computer more complicated to use than a stationary computer on a desk."

The AMIGOS project consists of five phases:

This thesis belongs mainly to the second phase, continuing the investigations of transactions in mobile computing [34] as part of phase three and utilizing the TACO layer [11] developed as part of the first phase. These two works will be presented in the following subsections.
