MobiSoft: Networked Personal Assistants for Mobile Users in Everyday Life

摘要

This paper provides an overview of the MobiSoft project, it's ideas and aims as well as the achieved results. In MobiSoft, we applied mobile software agents to support humans in their mobile everyday life. We developed a generic application framework that can be customized to fit into completely different scenarios ranging from industry use cases to social human interactions during leisure time. We describe this framework as well as several prototypes that demonstrate its general applicability. This paper also delivers first results of a survey at the university campus, that tried to capture user interest in personal assistants and mobile applications in general.
