Mobile computing is a domain in great expansion. Wireless networksand Portable Information Appliances (PIAs) are developing very rapidly.More and more mobile users would like to perform their multimediaapplications with the same facility as on their desktop station. Use ofsuch applications in a mobile environment raises new challenges. Theseapplications are interactive and extremely costly in system and networkresources, whereas PIA resources are poor and wireless networks offer avery variable quality of connection. The authors propose an adaptive anddynamic distribution of applications on the local environment toovercome the poorness of available resources on PIAs, and to reduce andregulate variability effects
