Abstract
Mobile commerce is an exciting and very recent addition to modern
business enterprise. M-commerce allows levels of sales and management
interaction at unprecedented new turn-around times. The technologies
for M-commerce are still in their infancy. While new hardware devices
such as mobile telephones and personal digital assistants are now
commonplace, the software for enabling such devices to support
reliable timely secure mobile commerce activities requires
considerable development. We are experimenting with
socio-technological aspects of both M-commerce and M-business with a
number of industrial partners. As well as investigating B2B and B2C
scenarios, we also introduce the term ``I2I'' for internal to internal
business data exchange transactions. Our particular research interest
is in developing a middleware to support M-activities. We describe
our experiments in this area and our prototype system.
Keywords: m-commerce; middleware; distributed systems.
