Abstract

In this paper we present the architecture of a Financial Information Gathering Infrastructure (FIGI). FIGI helps investors collect, filter, combine and integrate portfolio-related information provided through various Internet services like World-Wide Web sites and Web-databases. FIGI is being developed with Java-based Mobile Agent technology by Mitsubishi Electric Information Technology Center. The employment of Java and Mobile Agents provides us with a framework for unifying the various financial information services currently available on Internet and for sustaining continuous information provision even to mobile users.
