          rapid growth of mobile technologies and devices makes it
          possible for the
          customers of banking services to conduct banking at any place
          and at any time.
          Today, most of the banks in the world provide mobile access to
          its customers
          for banking as mobile banking systems improve their efficiency
          and reduce
          transaction costs. Banks invested heavily in the mobile
          banking system hoping
          that its customers would embrace it with open arms. Contrary
          to the
          expectation, the lukewarm patronage to mobile banking makes it
          crucial to
          understand the factors that contribute to users’ intention to
          use mobile
          banking. This study extends the applicability of technology
          acceptance model
          (TAM) to the mobile banking context. Based on the review of
          literature, few
          additional constructs were added to the TAM. Structural
          equation modeling (SEM)
          was used to test the casual relationships proposed. Findings
          of the study
          support the proposed model’s ability of explaining the users’
          intention to
          adopt mobile banking.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

          lang="EN-US">Access
          to the correct healthcare facility is a major concern for most
          people, many of
          whom gather information about the existing hospitals and
          healthcare facilities
          in their locality. After gathering such information, people
          must do a
          comparison of the information, make a selection, and then make
          an appointment
          with the concerned doctor. The time spent for this purpose
          would be a major
          constraint for many individuals. Research is currently
          underway in this area on
          incorporating Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
          to improve the
          services available in the health industry. This paper proposes
          an agent based
          approach to replicate the same search operations as the
          individual would
          otherwise do, by employing an intelligent agent. The proposed
          agent based
          system has been simulated and also validated through
          implementation on an
          individual’s smart phone or a PDA using JADE-LEAP agent
          development kit.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
