Abstract

Agent technology is ready to shift from the stage in which agent architectures are proposed to the stage in which applications working in the real world are developed. Accordingly, we have developed an agent-based application integrating VPC and KODAMA, as an example of a system where agents can behave effectively in the real world. VPC on KODAMA is a framework for actualizing a ubiquitous computing environment. VPC on KODAMA has a mechanism that assigns services to user agents according to their profiles. Using VPC on KODAMA, we developed an information notification system. This system sends advertisement e-mail tailored to user profiles, including user location, to the user’s cellular phone. We have conducted a large-scale experiment in shopping malls. The results of this experiment show that agent technology is effective for applications in ubiquitous computing environments.
