Abstract

We consider the notion of ephemeral personal goods that can be traded wirelessly, capitalizing on the anytime anywhere capability of mobile and wireless technologies which permits immediacy of action. More specifically, this paper considers a market-based mechanism for controlling the flow of advertisements from businesses to the mobile devices of potential customers. The mechanism relies on recognizing that the screen estate of a mobile device user at appropriate contexts (e.g., time and place) is a commodity in itself, and that businesses might pay to “purchase” or “rent” the screen estate of the masses, and in doing so, purchase the right to send advertisements to users. We describe an implementation using the JADE-LEAP multiagent toolkit, and discuss open issues.
