Abstract

The paper addresses the problem of ensuring the effective operation of computer systems implemented as PWA web applications under constrained and unstable network conditions, where operation completability is critical alongside performance. An adaptive policy-based approach is proposed, in which the network state determines the selection of strategies for data read paths and operation write paths, and governs caching, offline mode, and deferred execution. An experimental comparison of the baseline variant and the variant with adaptive policies was conducted using scenarios with different network profiles. The obtained results demonstrate reduced latencies, lower network cost, and improved operation completability, particularly under offline conditions, confirming the effectiveness of the proposed approach for computer systems designed to operate under network constraints.
