MAE: A Mobile Agent Platform for Building Wireless M-Commerce Applications
Abstract:
Abstract. Opportunities in the development of new wireless m-commerce applications are enormous. Market research has valued these opportunities anywhere between 26 billion in 2004 to 42 billion in 2005. We believe agent technology can greatly assist the development of these applica-tions as mobile devices still suffer from limited network bandwidth and processing power. Within this paper we present details into the development of a mobile agent platform for personal digital assistants (PDA). Development has been accomplished using the Connected Limited Device Configuration (CLDC) specifications, which is part of the Java 2 MicroEdition Platform (J2ME) and the SuperWaba SDK.
