Parallel and distributed architecture of a fair and scalable mobile competitive system

Abstract

With the development of wireless communication and mobile computing, new ways for people to interact with each other and their surrounding environment are emerging. Mobile devices, such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) with wireless communication interfaces make people able to communicate directly and compete with each other via network sessions. This study develops a mobile distributed architecture for dependable mobile competitive interactions over mobile networks, meeting the requirements of fairness, scalability and responsiveness through parallel tasks. The system considers variable communication delay of traversing intervals from users located in different situations and waiting time to obtain fairness. As can be expected, such models tend to ignore the selfish behavior of users. © 2010 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
