Abstract

This paper introduces a Mobile Resource Management (MRM) system for mobile E-commerce developed last year, mainly focusing on the server's implementation. The major advantages of the MRM are: (1) It provides location-based and context-aware services for mobile users. (2) It helps mobile E-commerce service providers (such as local advertisers) improve the effectiveness of their services, (for example through: better advertisements). (3) It improves real-time E-commerce services. In this paper, we describe the architecture of MRM system first, then describe our implementation of the server in detail, point out the problems in constructing such kind of system, and finally, show some new real life examples made possible by MRM.
