Abstract
This chapter presents four case studies of existing mobile software systems. The systems presented are (Table 6.1): MIT’s Rover distributed object development environment, CMU’s Coda file system, Xerox’s Bayou replicated storage system, and IBM’s WebExpress web browsing system. Each one of these systems belongs to a different level of the software stack. Rover provides a distributed object architecture for developing mobile applications. Coda and Bayou provide specific system support at the file and database level respectively. Finally, WebExpress is a specific application.
