Data caching framework and strategies for integrity constraint checking in mobile database system

In a mobile environment, due to the various constraints inherited from limitations of wireless communication and mobile devices, checking for integrity constraints to maintain the consistent state of mobile databases is an important issue that needs to be addressed. Due to limited storage capabiliti...
