Archana Sharma, Vineet Kansal, R P S. Tomar . Simulation Framework of Caching Techniques for Adoptability of M-Commerce in Location based Services. International Journal of Computer Applications. 84, 7 ( December 2013), 8-11. DOI=10.5120/14586-2820
Mobile commerce enables access to tangible & intangible products and services regardless of the location of either buyer or seller, in many situations the specific location of the buyer and seller is critical to the transaction. A host of new location-based applications and services are emerging with significant implications for the future of m-commerce. One of the main goals of mobile data access is to reach the ubiquity inherent to the mobile systems: to access information regardless of time and place. Data replication not only ensure the availability of the data but also reduce the communication cost, increase data sharing and increase the safety of the critical data. Furthermore, it also determine when and where (location) to place the replica of data, controlling the number of data replicas over a network for efficient utilization of the network resources. In mobile database systems caching proved itself as an important technique to optimize the way a mobile database is used. In order to improve data availability on the DBMS hosted on mobile device side, this paper develop a Framework through simulation study to analyze the communication cost involved by different caching technique which selects a priori subset of the data available on the server side database and copy them to the mobile device side Database.
