Abstract
In recent years, the growth of Electronic Commerce and Mobile
Computing has created a new concept of Mobile Electronic
Commerce. In this paper we describe the Agents2Go System that
attempts to solve problems related to location dependence that
arise in a Mobile Electronic Commerce environment. Agents2Go
is a distributed system that provides mobile users with the ability
to obtain location dependent services and information. Our
system also automatically obtains a user’s current geographical
location in CDPD (Cellular Digital Packet Data) based systems
without relying on external aids such as GPS (Global Positioning
System).
