Abstract

This paper introduces the Shadow, a decentralised data-sharing model for mobile networks, and provides insight into challenges faced in mobile replication and communication technologies. Furthermore, the viability of the implemented data-sharing model is evaluated and the results explained. The Shadow has been designed to offer maximum availability for data access while sacrificing part of reliability. This paper shows that a combination of optimistic replication and decentralised replica management can be used to form highly adaptive data sharing features for dynamic networks. The designed model cannot be compared to database solutions, as it does not provide strong consistency guarantees. On the other hand, it functions without any manual preconfiguration and centralised service providers. The Shadow provides high data access availability and adaptability into the environment at the expense of low reliability for data semantics. It proves that mobile data sharing is viable with current technology if update transactions are not allowed.
