Paper Abstract:
|
The evolution of computing technology and wireless nets has made mobile devices smaller and more powerful, providing
services anywhere and anytime. In this context, new opportunities have arisen in different areas such as education, games
and entertainment, and commerce. This paper proposes a ubiquitous commerce model called UbiTrade. This model
utilizes ubiquitous computing to explore deals opportunities for user that can act as both buyers and sellers. The paper
also describes the prototype that we have implemented to validate the model. Finally, we describe the results obtained
from a practical experiment, with the participation of users who answered a questionnaire on the proposed model. |
