This development extends the Multi-Agent System (MAS) paradigm to a new frontier, opening up significant avenues of research in intelligent mobile computing, amongst others. To demonstrate the potential of this approach, the practical realization of adaptivity in two classic agent-based mobile computing applications is considered. Though focusing on the tourist domain, it is contended that the approach adopted is generalisable to a broad category of mobile computing applications.534501 bytesapplication/pdfenAdaptivityMobile computingMultiagent systemsEmbedded agentsAmbient intelligenceMobile computingIntelligent agents (Computer software)Ambient intelligenceTourism--Information technologyJournal Article22210911610.3233/AIC-2009-0447https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/
