Abstract

Web services are gaining high popularity and importance on mobile devices. Connected to ad-hoc networks, they provide the possibility to establish spontaneously even complex service-based workflows and architectures. However, usually these architectures are only as stable and reliable as the underlying network infrastructure. Since topologies of mobile ad-hoc networks behave unpredictably, dependability within them can be only achieved with a dynamic replication mechanism. In this paper we present a highly flexible solution for replication and synchronization of stateful Web services and discuss the behavior of the implemented prototype in large-scale simulations.
