| Abstract | As mobile devices such as mobile phones, PDAs, and handheld computers are becoming more popular, they offer new opportunities to introduce mobile commerce applications and services to end users. These include developing new information processing techniques, adapting wired e-commerce applications to wireless ones, and developing novel mobile commerce applications. Push technology is one wired e-commerce technique that can be adopted for use in mobile commerce to deliver data to end-users without any requests from the users. However, there are some problems with push technology for mobile commerce that should be addressed, such as irrelevant information, redundant information, and lack of interaction. Moreover, the characteristics of mobile commerce systems such as limited network bandwidth, limited screen size, and mobility warrant new approaches to their design and implementation. As a result, this thesis proposes to deploy the concept of push technology for wireless Internet by adopting personalization techniques to find relevant information based on users' preferences. To illustrate the proposed system, one application is chosen to implement is pushing news to end-users. Three techniques are used in this proposed system. Firstly, the personalization is divided into two sub engines: a scoring engine and a learning engine. For extracting the users' preference, the experiment is conducted to proof reading time spent, see if it correlates with the explicit rating of preference. Secondly, due to the limitations of mobile devices, the one technique used to summarize the push content is automatic abstracting by statistical sentence extraction. Finally, the wireless push technology is based on WAP-based push architecture from WAP forum that can be interactive. |
