support required by a growing number of mobile workers. Such individuals require to work as if in
the office but in reality they are working from remote locations including homes, clients’
premises, or simply while en route to remote locations. The ‘office’ may accompany a remote
worker in the form of a laptop, smartphone, tablet, or other Internet access device. With the rapid
expansion of cellular, wireless, and satellite communications, it will soon be possible for mobile
users to access any data, anywhere, at any time. However, business etiquette, practicalities,
security, and costs may still limit communication such that it is not possible to establish online connections for as long as users want, whenever they want. Mobile databases offer a solution for
some of these restrictions.
