Abstract

The U-business model is the next stage in the evolution of business to take it beyond that of the e-commerce model. The opportunities offered by transforming business to utilise ubiquitous computing applications is fraught with difficulties not at least with the sensor networks, latency, noisy channels, context-middleware and the ever changing needs of business. The ubiquitous shopping mall model supports the change to a U-business by providing an approach that looks to make the process of change more manageable. This work is in its early stages and further research is required to understand and harness the opportunities that ubiquitous computing can offer retail shopping-malls
