December 4-5, 1998
University of Southern Mississippi
Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Utilizing Mobile Agents in e-Commerce Applications
James Ridgway and Dia L. Ali
Electronic commerce is emerging as one of the most important aspects
ushered in by the digital age. However, the near instantaneous nature of
this technology requires less human interaction and a greater reliance on
autonomous software agents. In this presentation, we illustrate current
research highlighting how such an environment may be constructed,
utilizing mobile agent systems as the primary automation component. A
brief introduction to mobile agent architectures and agent-based
e-commerce will be given. Next, we examine some of the advantages and
caveats of mobile agent based systems. Last, current research involving
the construction of a virtual stock exchange will be presented.
