Abstract

Access to the real-time information and consultations, irrelevant of their complexity, focused on exact needs and independent of location are essential factors to all busy people, specifically businessmen and specialists nowadays. In this paper, we present a new m-service concept, which could be employed as a very widespread commercial service among people holding any kind of mobile devices. To implement, we propose a model consists of front-end, a GUI receiving user's commands and requests through his/her mobile device and back-end, a database-support expert system, provides the expected services to users. Due regard to the nature of the m-commerce, this model should be enriched by an encrypted authentication level, also a method to determine the precise geographical location and local time of users. Predictive and situation-sensitive information and intellectual and self-tuning consultations are the most concerned services could be served. From the architectural point of view, the proposed system has a layered model, each rely on the service that its sub-layer provides and completes requests come from its super-layer. This model is formed by a five-layered architecture, namely Physical Communication (PC), Data Control (DC), Knowledge Management and Data Base (KMDB), Intelligent Process (IP) and User Interface (UI), respectively. We call this system: Mobile Information and Consultation Support System (MICSS).
