A product location framework for mobile commerce environment

摘要

Recent advances in wireless networking, mobile technologies, and applications have led to the emergence of mobile commerce. As many of these applications require location tracking of products, users, and services, support for location management has become a major issue in m-commerce. Although some progress has been made in adding location support in business to consumer (B2C) m-commerce, very little work has been done towards addressing these issues in the business to business (B2B) environment. In this paper, we discuss location management and present a new location-aware framework for B2B m-commerce environment.
