Agent-Based Service and Retailer Selection in a Personal Mobility Context

We investigate the usage of agents in service selection taking place in a personal mobility context. In particular, agents are employed to select (on behalf of users) the most beneficial service offer among those by multiple retailers. This selection is made on the basis of user preferences, encoded in the user profile, and market offerings promoted by retailers. We describe in detail the personal mobility context considered, and we propose a framework for agent intelligence to support the combined selection of service offer and retailer.
