چکیده
Supplying mobile users with downloadable value-added services represents a great challenge for mobile telecommunication companies which, in an effort to enhance their service offerings, seek new forms of revenue other than voice telephony. This paper describes a technical solution for the implementation of a software downloading platform for service provision. This solution is based on Java and CORBA technologies which allow to ensure basic platform functionality. In addition, a mobile agent-based approach is investigated to complement this solution by facilitating and optimising the development of specific tasks. Two agent-based services are proposed: Service Downloading and Service
