This paper describes the adaptive component migration
facility in the Bifrost Location-Independent Computing System.
We present a facility that allows mobile clients to selectively
invoke application component functionality locally
or remotely in order to improve user response time. The
Bifrost runtime system uses a decision-making process that
takes into account a variety of issues affecting the migration
decision, including client and server resources, component
size, the size of the data associated with the component,
and network characteristics. We present a detailed design
of this system, while examining the options of function
call re-direction and API wrappers as a means to extend the
semantics of the underlying remote execution technology
(DCOM). The adaptive functionality provided by Bifrost resulted
in a minimum 29% reduction in response time experienced
by the client over a default DCOM-based implementation
for mobile client devices.
