Abstract
Today's applications for mobile computers are inadapted: mobile users must foresee disconnections and plan manu- ally what they will need during these disccnnections. To avoid this, our project alms at reconciling transparency with adaptability and flexibility for the, users. It is based upon mechanisms for referencing remote objects, and for flexible binding, allowing on-the-fly replication and policy changes. This system-level support hides the disadvantages of disconnected operation, moves, unavail- able data or servers, etc. Our project, in its early devel- opment phase, already provides support for disconnection and reconnection of references to arbitrary objects.
