Abstract

Abstract: The high expectations and demand for users to access the Internet from anywhere at anytime has made user mobility an important part of the design and development of the next generation mobile communications and computing. Traditionally user mobility has been divided into two areas: Terminal Mobility and Personal Mobility. In recent years terminal mobility has been the focus of researchers, with personal mobility somewhat lagging behind. Although there are research in personal mobility, researchers have taken a very discrete approach of the two directions in this area: personal mobility in communications and personalisation of operating environments. In this paper, we introduce a new personal mobility framework called IPMoA (Integrated Personal Mobility Architecture), with the use of mobile agents, integrates both aspects of personal mobility to provide a complete personal mobility solution.
