One potential application for agent-based systems has been in the area of m-commerce. In most current systems, user-supplied keywords are normally used to generate a profile for the user. In this chapter, a design for an evolutionary ontology-based product-brokering agent for m-commerce applications is proposed. It uses an evaluation function to represent the user’s preference instead of the usual keyword-based profile. By using genetic algorithms, the agent tries to track the user’s preferences for a particular product by tuning some parameters inside. A prototype was implemented in Java, and the results obtained from our experiments look promising.

Agent-based system has great potential in the area of m-commerce and a lot of research has been done on making the system intelligent enough to personalize its service for users. In most systems, user-supplied keywords are normally used to generate a profile for each user. In this chapter, a design for an evolutionary ontology-based product-brokering agent for m-commerce applications has been proposed. It uses an evaluation function to represent the user’s preference instead of the usual keyword-based profile. By using genetic algorithms, the agent tries to track the user’s preferences for a particular product by tuning some of the parameters inside this function. A Java-based prototype has been implemented and the results obtained from our experiments look promising.

The objective of this paper is to study the existing and current research on parallel multi-objective genetic algorithms (PMOGAs) through an intensive experiment. Many early efforts on parallelizing multi-objective genetic algorithms were introduced to reduce the processing time needed to reach an acceptable solution of them with various examples. Further, the authors tried to identify some of the issues that have not yet been studied systematically under the umbrella of parallel multi-objective genetic algorithms. Finally, some of the potential application of parallel multi objective genetic algorithm is discussed.
