On the Design of a Mobile Agent Environment for Context-aware M-commerce
Due to technological advances of handheld computing and communication devices, Mobile commerce (M-commerce) has emerged and attracted a growing number of research efforts. M-commerce not only extends Internet-based Electronic commerce (Ecommerce), but also offers a unique business opportunity with its own features, such as ubiquity, accessibility, portability, etc. In this paper, we discuss some important issues in the design of an Mcommerce platform based on agent technology and context-aware workflow analysis. Deploying mobile agents and context-awareness in M-commerce can reduce unnecessary network traffic, tolerate poor network connectivity, provide more advanced services, support automation of decision-making, reduce participation costs and improve trading efficiencies.
