Event Engine for Adaptive Mobile Computing Shiow-yang Wu and H. S. Cinatit Chao   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Data Management Architectures Abstract To cope with the highly resource constrained and dynamically changing mobile computing environment, we propose an architecture which employs an active event engine to detect current resource and environment status, inform registered applications about status changes, and provide a suite of actions for application adaptation. Preliminary implementation and evaluation results demonstrate that the event engine can successfully detect the registered events and invoke application specified actions to bring the system to a desired state.
