MUCS: um modelo para suporte ao comércio ubíquo

Abstract

The constant evolution of computing technology and wireless networks have made the wireless devices smaller and more powerful, providing services anywhere at any time. In this context, research areas such as education, medicine, games and entertainment, automakers and businesses have been experiencing high growth with the adoption of new technologies. This essay proposes a ubiquitous commercial model called MUCS, which utilizes ubiquitous computing to generate business opportunities to users, being them customers and/or providers. It also describes several everyday scenarios where the MUCS model can be applied, and the prototype which has been implemented to validate them. Finally, the results obtained are presented through a practical experiment, with the participation of users whose main objectives were to validate the presented scenarios, and evaluate the acceptance of the proposed model.
