Abstract
The problems, limitations, and potential advantages of mobile computing systems are discussed. It is suggested that the constraints violate many of the assumptions upon which today's distributed systems are based. A key requirement of mobile computing systems will be the ability to access critical data regardless of location, which implies interdependence between the elements of a mobile computing system. The Coda file system, which is an effort to provide transparency of environment to mobile computing systems, is reviewed.>

This paper shows that disconnected operation is feasible, efficient and usable by describing its design and implementation in the Coda File System by showing that caching of data, now widely used for performance, can also be exploited to improve availability.

Andrew and Coda are distributed Unix file systems that embody many of the recent advances in solving the problem of data sharing in large, physically dispersed workstation environments.
IEEE Transactions on Software EngineeringThe influence of scale on distributed file system design
68 Citations1992Mahadev Satyanarayanan
The proposition that scale should be recognized as a primary factor influencing the architecture and implementation of distributed systems is validated using Andrew and Coda, two distributed file systems.
Supporting application-specific resolution in an optimistically replicated file system
57 Citations2002Puneet Kumar, Mahadev Satyanarayanan
The interface described here is used to bind ASRs to objects and to specify the conditions under which a specific ASR is invoked, which allows the system to make conflict resolution transparent to the user, thus improving the usability of optimistic replication.
