 Word-Wide Correlated Activities
Semantic Web Agentcities is a global, collaborative effort
to construct an open network of on-line systems
hosting diverse agent based services.
Semantic Web is an extension of the current
web in which information is given well-defined
meaning, better enabling computers and people
to work in cooperation
Agentcities
Grid Computing
Wide-area distributed computing, or "grid” technologies,
provide the foundation to a number of large-scale efforts
utilizing the global Internet to build distributed computing
and communications infrastructures.
FIPA
FIPA is a non-profit organisation aimed
Web Services at producing standards for the interoperation
of heterogeneous software agents.

WWW is more and more used for application to application communication.

The programmatic interfaces made available are referred to as Web services.
The goal of the Web Services Activity is to develop a set of
technologies in order to bring Web services to their full potential 11

Mobile Location-Based Service
in Semantic Web
M-Commerce LBS system
http://www.cs.jyu.fi/~mmm Adaptive interface for MLS client
In the framework of the Multi Meet Mobile
(MMM) project at the University of Jyväskylä,
a LBS pilot system, MMM Location-based
Service system (MLS), has been developed.
MLS is a general LBS system for mobile
users, offering map and navigation across
multiple geographically distributed services
accompanied with access to location-based
information through the map on terminal’s
screen. MLS is based on Java, XML and uses
dynamic selection of services for customers
based on their profile and location.
