A functional model for mobile commerce

Abstract

In this paper we shall introduce a feasible functional model for mobile commerce, which meets the basic user requirements. First, we shall analyse these requirements and we shall give an overview on the interplay of disciplines in the design of successful mobile commerce applications. And we shall explain the core results of interstate e-government research on information relevance management, as they apply to mobile commerce. Second, we shall define and discuss the functional model for the mobile enduser devices. Third, we shall discuss various non-standard mobile commerce scenarios, which might help to bootstrap mobile commerce in the large. © 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
