Abstract

The Social Business solutions are developed through the integration of different components. Distributed software agents offer great promise in building an increasingly pervasive middleware and component technology. Agents are specialized kinds of components that offer great flexibility than traditional components. This study is focus in developing a software agent that could be used to assemble different type of frameworks which were written and built by different developers of different platforms. This paper proposed a Mobile Component Integration Agent (MCIA) for Social Business Application as a software development methodology to simply integrate the different technology building blocks into one web-based solution. We propose a systematic development process for software agent using component and UML. We first developed the agent components specification and modeled it. Based on this, we developed a mobile application for social business application as a case study. We integrate the developed software framework as a module in Drupal content management System.
