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. >

Coda: a highly available file system for a distributed workstation environment
Mahadev Satyanarayanan
- 27 Sep 1989
TL;DR: Measurements from a prototype show that the performance cost of providing high availability in Coda is reasonable and the design of Coda optimizes availability and performance and provides the highest degree of consistency attainable.
Scalable, secure, and highly available distributed file access
TL;DR: 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.
