In late 1990s. the multi-application initiative was put forward to have multiple applications on a single smart card. This would have enabled a cardholder to accumulate all of her smart card based applications (e.g. banking, telecom, and transport etc.) on a single device. However, despite the initial fervour for the multi-application smart card initiative, there were no wide spread adoption of this...
This paper presents an architecture proposal for mobile services. It covers server-side and terminal-side components for the easy creation, provision and consumption of mobile services. The intrinsic characteristics of mobile services are reflected in this approach. Especially the role of the power user, that not only consumes mobile services but also modifies them or creates services of his own,...
Integration between multi-agents systems and mobile services can lead to advanced creative applications on smart handsets. Communication and learning are some of the main features of agents. These features can be utilized to implement a smart system that can be proactive and adaptive to a user's context/-situation. This paper highlights a number of related projects and points out their drawbacks....
Mobile phones become an alternative to personal computers in the way various functionalities are performed. A number of applications are available for mobile devices. However, they have a major drawback of limited resources. Consequently, applications with complex logics and consuming a large of resources could not be deployed on the devices. Service-based mobile applications (SMAs) solve the limitation...
A mobile device such as Android device is emerging as a convenient client computing device with mobility and context-sensing capability. However, the computing power and hardware resource of the devices are limited due to the small form-factor. Consequently, large-scaled applications could not be deployed on these devices. To remedy the limitations, it is desirable to deploy some heavy-weight functionality...
Along with the rapid development of 3rd generation mobile communication technologies, the applications of M-Commerce have been greatly expanded. Based on the research and analysis of the J2ME platform, this paper proposes a secure architecture for M-Commerce systems under the 3G networks. The proposed solution is the combination of J2EE and J2ME capabilities based on the three-tier architecture, as...
In order to meet the greater than ever before integration and consolidation needs, enterprises are migrating towards SOA-based models. Besides, driven by the dissemination of more refined mobile devices in the enterprise, and the rapid growth of wireless networks based on IEEE 802.11 WiFi Standards, mobile applications have been increasingly used in mission-critical business applications. The SOA-based...
This paper describes the design and development of a new software which is included sending SMS to inform passengers in an Airline about flight status notifications. While investigating corresponding cases around the world, we found that it seems to be inadequate integrated software to inform the passengers about the flight status notifications such as delays, cancellations, change the date of flights...
In the pervasive system, it is important for its application to adapt to mobile devices. But most of pervasive systems are not quickly suitable for mobile device. In order to provide adaptive mobile services, the approach for self-adaptation is proposed in this paper. Firstly, context of mobile devices and its influence on pervasive application are analyzed and business rules based on this analysis...
Contemporary mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) are the fastest-growing local mobile/wireless service providers. They have been achieving such significant growth by providing highly-adaptable, personalized services. The ability to change their offerings to go with individual end-users' needs is the key to the continued success. Consequently, MVNOs require a highly-scalable hardware and software...
Mobile solutions provide the opportunity for seamless integration of mobile field service engineers into the service processes resulting in new form of interaction between them and the dispatcher. In this paper, we describe the results of our study regarding the requirements of utilizing a mobile application in the area of industrial field service. After a brief description of the challenges these...
While new competitors are threatening the traditional business models of Telecommunications operators by providing their services directly to the customer, user-centric service creation paradigm brings new opportunities for operators to deliver diverse, attractive, and profitable services directly to the end-user. This paper discusses the service creation model, architecture and implementation in...
VoiceXML is a language of the W3C to create voice-user interfaces, particularly for the telephone. This paper first shows the importance of voice interface to m-commerce, then presents the VoiceXML techniques and a certain business applications on M-commerce. At last, we draw some conclusions.
Mobile devices play a key role in reducing the gap between the physical and the digital world. The use of automatic identification capabilities can improve the user participation in business processes. However, the solutions available today for connecting physical elements with digital services are not suited for the support of smart workflows due to their limited customization capabilities. This...
In this paper, a hybrid recommendation architecture for mobile commerce system is presented based on agent and ontology technology. Working flow and components of the architecture are described to explain how system components work together. This architecture is a hybrid algorithm which integrates the results of specific recommendation algorithms. Based on this architecture, a restaurant recommendation...
In this paper a new proactive customer relationship management system (CRM), BlueCRM, is proposed. The proposed system employs Bluetooth as an automatic identification token in addition to its common use as a communication channel. The system offers a low-cost proactive CRM system which is the future trend of such systems. The implementation of the prototype system comprises two sides: a database...
This paper is about a software architecture, named WCAM (watcher, controller, action, and model), which reduces the complexity of context-aware systems by decoupling of concerns. We first introduce general requirements of context-aware systems. Next, we present our architecture pattern, WCAM. Watcher perceives external environment, and controller manages the cooperation between watcher and model....
Distributed software systems are characterized by increasing autonomy. They often have the capability to sense the environment and react to it, discover the presence of other systems and take advantage of their services, adapt and re-configure themselves in accordance with the internal as well as the global state. Testing this kind of systems is challenging, and systematic and automated approaches...
