A new era of mobile shopping based on intelligent fuzzy neuro-based shopping agents

Owing to the increasing number of mobile e-commerce applications using WAP technology, intelligent agent-based systems have become a new trend of development in the new millennium. Traditional web-based agent systems suffer various degrees of deficiency in terms of the provision of `intelligent´ software interfaces and light-weighted coding to be implemented in WAP devices. In this paper, the author proposes a comprehensive and intelligent-based agent platform known as `intelligent java agent development environment´ for the development of smart (via the implementation of `conscious layer´), compact and highly mobile agent applications. From the implementation point of view, the author introduces an intelligent fuzzy neural-based mobile shopping agent based on the integration of WAP and java servlets technology. Promising results in terms of agent mobility, fuzzy-neural shopping efficiency and effectiveness have been obtained
