ACNOWLEDGEMENT

I am extremely thankful to our beloved Vice-chairman THIRUMATHI

V.LAKSHMI BANGARU ADIGALAR for the help and the advice she had
showered up on me.

I express my gratitude to our principal Prof.

Dr.V.R.A.SATTHAPPAN,Ph.D., and Mrs.R.JAGADEESWARI,M.E., Head,
Department Of Information Technology, for their valuable guidance and consistent
encouragement throughout the period of my project work.

Words won’t suffice to express my feeling of gratitude to my internal guide

Mr.S.MUTHUKUMAR,M.C.A.,M.Phil., Department of Information
Technology, for his constant encouragement during the course of the project.

I record my sincere and wholehearted gratitude to

Mr.D.JAGADEESAN.M.Tech.,M.I.S.T.E., Department of CSE and
Mr.M.N.RAMANATHAN B.E., INAUTIX, chennai for their valuable
suggestion to undertake this project and for their constant encouragement to do this
project successfully.

I would thank my parents who inspired me always without their

encouragement I would never have gotten to where I am.

Finally we thank all those who directly or indirectly involved in bringing out
this project successfully. Lastly I would thank my classmates and friends for their
moral support.

 ABSTRACT

Now-a-days the passion is towards the wireless devices. Everyone are using
wireless devices such as mobile phones, laptops, mobile computers and so on. We
might be thinking that charging these devices doesn’t consume much more energy.
But the fact is that, the total amount of power required to charge all the mobile
phones will be equivalent to the total amount of power required to run an industry.

Therefore it is must to prevent energy loss in such a devices. Here in our

project we propose a new scheme called FLEXFETCH which is used to prevent
energy loss in mobile computing.

In a pervasive computing environment, the data may either stored in a local

disk or in a remote server. The selection of the data sources depends upon the
operational states (in case of Local Disk), Bandwidth (in case of Wireless
Network) and the amount of data requested. FLEXFETCH is used to adaptively
select the data source (local disk or remote server).

FLEXFETCH is a profile based I/O management scheme that is aware of

file access history and adaptive to current access environment. It is proactively
designed to select the least costly data source to service application’s request.
