This project will present 3 objective in HPS (Hand Phone System) that help user to search for hand phone detail information by: [1] Brand such as Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. [2] Version of the hand phone (model). [3] Price: User can input the price range. Instead of having to surf endlessly through the WWW (World Wide Web) and digesting huge amounts of possibly untrustworthy information, personalized mobile agents autonomously gather information about the item user want to see. Once they have found ihe destination or server (the piece ofsoftware): the agent can send the result back to the user. This project will be focusing on Information Retrieval and will be using mobile agent platform which is aglets, Java runtime, Jdkl.0.5_08, and Microsoft VisualJ++ 6.0 to design the GUI that build using Applet. This project will undergo 5stages which are; plan the hardware or software required for the project, then analyze and get the Product Requirement, next is design the process of implementing HPS System, implement the project by using mobile agent platform - aglets that involves programming activity and last is to test the product to ensure the product successfully completed and testify and fulfill the objectives of this project. The result and discussion about the system produced will highlights how the system works generally. Some other interested formula and idea from other project's discussion will also be used to further doing this project. As a conclusion, is project is aimed to create a simple HPS system using mobile agent technology and need to be improved in many aspects and that can be the recommendation for future work for expansion and continuation.
