System and method for maintaining transaction cache consistency in mobile computing environment

摘要

A system and method for maintaining a transaction cache consistency in a mobile computing environment are disclosed. An invalidation report message including an updated data and an update time stamp is periodically broadcast from a mobile server to a mobile client. Whenever the invalidation report message is received by the mobile client, an invalidation processing of a transaction cache is performed by using the received invalidation report message. A cache consistency maintaining processing is performed on the basis of the invalidation process result. The mobile client performs a read-only mobile transaction commit processing independently on the basis of the data of the consistency-maintained cache. Accordingly, a load to the mobile server is distributed to the mobile client.
