An agent based campus information providing system for cellular phone

Abstract

In this paper a campus information providing system (CIPS) for cellular phones is proposed. By using this system, the search time to find the necessary information in the campus is reduced. A user can access the system using the cellular phone terminal and by clicking the links or by inserting a keyword in the form they can get easily the campus information. The system has four agents which deals with Web information required by users, Net News, the student's login state, campus navigation and the filtering of the received campus information for cellular phone terminal. Therefore the proposed system can provide different media informations to a cellular phone. By using the proposed system, the users are able to get the information anywhere and anytime. The system performance was evaluated using a questionnaire. From the questionnaire results, we found that the system was able to show the required information. However the system operation should be improved and the information content should be shown better.
