Terminal mobility support in TINA

As shown by V.T. Do and J.A. Audestad (1996), access and location transparencies defined for open distributed processing (ODP) and TINA are unsufficient to support terminal mobility since interoperability between DPE platforms is not guaranteed at all times. We study all the functions and computational objects necessary to support terminal mobility. Both forms of interactions: operational and stream oriented, are considered. The solution proposed is generic and can be customised for both continuous and discrete mobility in either wireline or wireless networks.
