“…In this, it is not unique, as the literature is sprinkled with prototypical systems for various application domains. In the case of the tourist domain, there are a number of well documented systems including GUIDE [13] and CRUMPET [14]. As well as the mobile computing domain, researchers in wearable computing and Augmented Reality (AR) have also found the tourism domain a fertile one for experimentation.…”

The challenge presented by ambient intelligence and pervasive computing is an environment within which computing artifacts become seamlessly merged into our surroundings, whereby interaction with such artifacts becomes intuitive and unobtrusive, where the devices become sensitive to the presence of people and are imbued with the ability to anticipate and service the individual needs of each and every user. In this paper, we present Gulliver's Genie, an archetypical ubiquitous computing application. Gulliver's Genie embraces three central constructs; those of agency, mobility and adaptivity. The architecture adopts a Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) metaphor whereby agents manage and maintain a context within which mobile users exist and, based upon this context, seeks to adapt and personalize content based upon perceived individual user needs. Agents are mobile and may migrate to or from environmental artifacts reflecting their computational constraints.

“…Works like the ones carried out in CRUMPET (Poslad et al, 2001) projects have addressed the state-of-the-art and even furthered it. Recently, another clear application for supporting virtual elderly assistance communities was presented in the context of the TeleCARE project (Afsarmanesh et al, 2003).…”

Purpose -Taking into account the importance of e-commerce and the current applications of AI techniques in this area, this research aims to adequate the design of a multi-agent system for the provisioning of e-services in u-commerce environments. This proposal is centred on the methods of evaluation in a u-e-commerce environment. Design/methodology/approach -The multi-agent systems (MAS) approach is based on an MAS model developed for AmI that has been redesigned to support u-commerce. The use of a recommendation system, previously developed by the research group, is suggested for this MAS. The methodological proposal centres on the evaluation of this type of system. Findings -The evaluation of this type of system is the principal problem of current research. Therefore, this is the main contribution of the paper. Research limitations/implications -The different evaluation methods that are proposed, whether qualitative or quantitative, offer the possibility of measuring the added value that the context can give to the use of e-services in different domains of application. Qualitative evaluation should consider the customer as a central piece in the system. In addition, quantitative methods should objectively evaluate the contribution of context to the application. Practical implications -At present, there is no single method for evaluating the benefits of different u-commerce systems, so a new method needs to be found based on these techniques. Originality/value -The research proposes an MAS designed for u-commerce domains, analyzes the capacity of trust management techniques in this environment, and proposes several evaluation methods to show the benefits of context information in the use of e-services. Several real developments are described to show the different applications of MAS in u-commerce and how evaluation is carried out.

“…However, solutions based on automatic generation of comments on the closest artwork may sometimes be judged annoying by the user. CRUMPET (Poslad et al, 2001) personalizes its services, both on PDAs and mobile phones, not only according to the position of the user and her interests, but also according to previous interaction with the system. Lol@ (Pospischil et al, 2003) is a tourist guide for the city of Wien, using GPS as localisation techniques and a GIS support for generating the maps.…”

In this paper, we propose a multi-device, location-aware museum guide. It is a mobile guide able to opportunistically exploit large screens when they are nearby the user. Various types of games, which can exploit multi-device environments, are included in addition to the museum and artwork descriptions. The mobile guide is equipped with an RFID reader, which provides information useful to automatically detect nearby artworks. We also present example applications of this solution and then briefly discuss the results of first empirical tests performed to evaluate the usefulness and the usability of the enhanced mobile guide.
