Abstract
This paper presents the architecture and functional characteristics of MDBA (Mobile Data Base Administrator), a context-aware tool for remote data base administration that is executed in mobile devices. The MDBA enables database administrators (DBAs) to perform their tasks by automatically identifying databases and the wireless communication structure of a given mobile computational environment. The proposed tool has properties which integrate features of mobile computation pervasive computation paradigms. The MDBA introduces the notion of remote database administration, which is supported by a new computational paradigm, denoted ubiquitous computation. Therefore, the MDBA tool provides database administration services anywhere and anytime. Furthermore, the MDBA enables DBAs to manage databases residing in mobile hosts or fixed hosts. The proposed tool has been developed based on the J2ME technology.
