Abstract

In this paper, we describe a new approach towards creating location-based services with autonomic characteristics. Location based services is gaining acceptance in many applications that require the geographical context of the user. Examples of these include mobile advertisements, events announcements, news feeds, and information guides. Peer-to-peer systems are suited to dynamic mobile systems because the loose association between the mobile clients fits naturally with the P2P network; and additionally P2P architecture allows each service client machine to act also as a service provider. However, most present P2P systems had been designed with a fixed infrastructure rather than a wireless or mobile infrastructure. This paper proposes an intelligent location context-aware peer-to-peer multiagent system that could be used to address the dynamic requirements of a mobile infrastructure and hence provide reliable autonomic location-based services environment.
