Abstract;The rapidly expanding technology of portable personalized computing devices and wireless data networks has recently given mobile users capability of accessing many kinds of data. There is a large body of related work for mobile computing environments. The common problems on these systems are network connectivity, bandwidth, and latency. Small size of memory on mobile hosts is another subject for consideration. The important techniques for addressing the problems are prefetching and invalidation of cache data in the systems to make use of databases in fixed hosts. Therefore, many ideas with respect to cache systems in mobile hosts, have been proposed. Meanwhile, Auto PC by Microsoft Corp., Connected Car PC by Intel Corp., and so on have been announced as a platform of in-vehicle computer systems. Our consideration in this paper to approach the problem is a new cache algorithm by using mobility specification of mobile hosts for accessing location dependent data that are much used in the systems.
