An Agent and Profile Management System for Mobile Users and Service Providers

With the development of mobile devices, people can execute many applications on their personal devices at any time and in any place. However, many limitations of the mobile devices, e.g., CPU, memory, power supply, etc., make them impossible to be completely the same as the desktop PCs. In this paper we present an integrated management architecture for thin-client purpose called Agent and Profile Management System (APMS). The users of mobile devices can use the services from various service providers via this system. On the other hand, the centralized management of service agents provided by the service providers is employed in this system. The users only need to download a simple service agent to their mobile device and install it, then the service agent will connect to the homologous service provider, send an XML-RPC request by ¡§POST¡¨ to the back-end server. After receiving the XML-RPC request, the back-end server executes appropriate processes and returns an XML-RPC response to the mobile device. Most of the procedures are accomplished on the server side that has powerful CPU and large amount of memory. Therefore, the loading of mobile devices is relatively low and the cost of mobile devices can be effectively reduced.
