In order to increase the availability as well as avoid the overload of the single Web server, using Web server cluster is one of main solutions. We take the contents/services types into consideration for balancing workload of Web servers. For different contents requested by clients, the workload for each Web server would be different. Hereby, we focus on proposing a new load balance algorithm for supporting fast response and load balancing for scalable Web server clusters. In addition, we demonstrate our simulation experiments to show that our proposed approach, as compared to existing approaches. This proposed approach can be applied to various applications, especially for resolving e-learning systems with needs of a great deal of requests with different service types simultaneously issued by worldwide users.","PeriodicalId":186142,"journal":{"name":"18th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2004.

By using a proxy server, a user can generate a mobile auction agent by giving the bidding information, including the maximum bidding price. The agent then moves to the required server to participate in the auction according to the user's requirements. A major contribution of the paper is that it presents a mathematical model to analyze the commonly used \"proxy bidding method.\" Based on the distribution of the maximum bidding price, the model can be used to find the probability of stopping at a certain price and, hence, the average winning price. Simulation and analytical results are presented to demonstrate the behavior of the system.","PeriodicalId":186142,"journal":{"name":"18th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2004.

However, determining the number of replication and where to replicate the data are the major issues. This paper proposes a hybrid replication model for fixed and ad hoc network in order to achieve high data availability. For the fixed network, a data will be replicated synchronously in a diagonal manner of logical grid structure, while for the ad hoc network, a data will be replicated asynchronously based on commonly visited sites for each user. In comparison to the grid structure technique, diagonal replication technique (DRG) on fixed network requires lower communication cost for an operation, while providing higher data availability, which is preferred for large systems.","PeriodicalId":186142,"journal":{"name":"18th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2004.

The goal of proxy handoff is to allow a mobile host still can receive packets from the corresponding server even though its served proxy is switched from the current one to the other one. A 3-tier multimedia mobile transmission platform, called MMTP, is proposed to solve the proxy handoff problem in the IPv6-based wireless mobile network. In MMTP, a proxy handoff scheme, which is based on the application layer anycast technique, is proposed to select from a number of candidate proxies according to the load balance concern and wireless network situation concern.","PeriodicalId":186142,"journal":{"name":"18th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2004.

By automatically detecting the capabilities and the contextual information of client devices, Metaria can also reformat the presentation of metasearch results to best suit the limitations of the client devices or the user's preferences. It can further improve the efficiency of metasearching by automatically transferring the metasearch results to clients.","PeriodicalId":186142,"journal":{"name":"18th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2004.

We show our scheme's advantages over previously proposed schemes by comparing delay on the sender and receiver side, and tolerance to packet loss.","PeriodicalId":186142,"journal":{"name":"18th International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2004.

In order to recover the information system as soon as possible from the system failure, network protocol has to deal with those requirements. We introduce Wireless Recovery Protocol (WRP) to temporally recover WDM with minimum configuration as soon as possible even though some of network and computing facilities were damaged by disaster, using network management and GPS functions.
