Abstract
Agent-Oriented Programming (AOP) offers an alternative and radical
approach to the development of information systems in various domains.
However, one domain that AOP has only minimally affected, at least up until
now, is that of mobile computing. Until recently, the use of strong intentional
agents in such a domain has been considered impractical, and, indeed,
computationally intractable. In this paper, Agent Factory, a system for the
fabrication of strong intelligent agents is introduced. In particular, its strategies
for realising such agents in the computationally-constrained world of mobile
computing are outlined. Finally, two archetypical mobile computing
applications, realised through Agent Factory, are described. The first, EasiShop,
a ubiquitous commerce (uCommerce) application, enables shoppers to seek out
good deals while wandering an arbitrary shopping mall or high street. The
second, Gulliver’s Genie, is a mobile context-sensitive tourist guide that
focuses on the delivery of personalised multimedia content in a just-in-time
basis.
