Abstract
The continued growth of portable, wireless enabled devices with massive storage capacity and powerful CPUs are mak-ing the wide spread use of mobile databases a reality. Mobile devices are increasingly used for database driven applica-tions such as product inventory tracking, sales order entry, and customer relationship management. These applications have changed the way mobile applications access and man-age data. Instead of storing data in a central database, data is being moved closer to applications to increase effi-ciency and autonomy. This trend leads to many interesting problems in mobile database research. In this paper I sur-vey recent research in mobile database caching strategies. I overview systems built using avoidance-based approaches to cache invalidation. With each system I describe incremen-tal improvements over previous work. I also briefly survey recent related work on conflict avoidance schemes. 1.
