TL;DR

This paper introduces RMAWS, a hybrid architecture combining mobile agents and WebSocket protocols to improve web service reliability over intermittent mobile network connections, reducing data loss and timeout issues.

Contribution

The paper presents a novel hybrid architecture that enhances mobile web service reliability by integrating mobile agents with WebSocket communication protocols.

Findings

Reduces data loss due to intermittent connectivity

Overcomes request timeout issues in mobile environments

Improves mobile user experience with reliable web services

Abstract

The intermittent wireless connectivity in Mobiles limits the spread of mobile applications usage over the web, such that the web services are the independent protocol that used to achieve the mobile connectivity with the cloud services. Achieving the web service reliability results in two aspects. The first is low communication overhead and retrieving the appropriate response to prevent the duplicate request execution. The second is overcoming the request time out problem that is one of the most effected issues in the mobile experience. This paper proposes Reliable Mobile Agent and Web Socket approach (RMAWS) that achieves the reliable web services consumption. The enhanced architecture is hybrid between the mobile agent approach and web socket open connection communication protocol. This approach recovers the data lose because of the intermittent connections, overcomes the Time-out problem, and enhances the mobile experience by achieving this service consumption reliability.
