Auction system in wireless environment

Pervasive and mobile computing technologies promise to provide users with a quick and convenient access to a variety of commercial applications. With the proliferation of mobile devices, such as laptops, mobile phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), and the fast mobile networks, mobile auctions seems to be the most compelling service. This paper proposes an auction system in wireless environment to offer flexible and adaptable auction services to all users. We present a prototype implementation of an auctioning system in wireless environment by using mobile phones based on the English auction type. We elaborate on a prototypical process how these auction methods, interaction requirements and other attributes can be incorporated in mobile phones based auction. We observed that auction systems provide more flexible and adaptable commerce services to mobile users.
