Abstract

This section introduces an agent-based design and implementation of the TINA access session to support personal mobility and retailer selection. The presented design allows users to select and access services according to their preferences even though they are visiting foreign domains. The market of retailers, content and connectivity providers is envisioned to be open and competitive so that users are enabled, to select the service offer most closely matching their needs in the most economical way in each session. Key innovations include the implementation of a specialised user agent to perform the selections on behalf of the users and the extension of the TINA access session with the retailer selection sequence. The presented approach replaces the TINA User Agent concept with several specialised mobile agents.
