Abstract

The low bandwidth hinders the development of mobile computing. Besides providing relatively higher bandwidth on communication layer, constructing adaptable upper application is important. In this paper, a framework of auto-adapting distributed object is proposed, and evaluating methods of object performance are given as well. Distributed objects can adjust their behaviors automatically in the framework and keep in relatively good performance to serve requests of remote applications. It is an efficient way to implement the performance transparency for mobile clients.
