Abstract
Mobile devices can be seen as components of distributed information systems, with applications executed on these devices requiring a fragment of the global schema allocated to the device and implemented through materialised views. As mobile devices become more powerful we would like to minimise modifications to application code and thus reduce the cost of migration for large numbers of applications to mobile devices. Ideally an application should run mobile without any modification.
It is possible to implement dynamic database creation for application instances in an architecture with a light-weight database management system on the mobile device and an application manager.
This eliminates the need for the applications to be modified to manage their data requirements in mobile environments, with mobile dynamically created databases acting as the expected server database to the mobile applications. This is particularly useful in environments where tasks are scheduled by a workflow management system that is readily modified to act as an application manager.
