Abstract: In this paper, we present the multi agent approach for developing an intelligent system for mobile users to find most of the different type of deals/services available nearby to them at unknown places. Now days, smart phone have the ability to determine the exact position of a terminal on the earth. By use of the ability the system collects the user's position and discovers the services available near to him. Many services are being offered by mobile companies and Web sites to look for locations, finding routs, and tracking devices. However, the Web content is updated after certain interval of time and is not so much interactive. For instance, the information like doctors on duty, available medicines, and beds is outdated and cause the wastage of time as well as money of visitors. We resolve this issue by means of design and development of an intelligent system whose architecture is based on multi-agents who collaborate and cooperate with each other to present the most accessible and useful services available in an interactive way. The results obtained from the experiments are very encouraging and much appreciated by the users of this system.
