隨著行動裝置的發展，使用者可以隨時隨地在他們個人的行動配備執行各種應用程式。然而，諸多限制如處理器、記憶體及電源供應能力等，使得這些行動裝置無法與個人電腦擁有完全相同的功能。在這篇論文中，我們提出了以Thin-Client為目標的一個整合性管理架構：服務代理器及個人資料管理系統 (APMS)。透過這個系統，行動裝置的使用者可以使用由服務提供者所提供的各種服務。在另一方面，本系統利用了對不同服務提供者所提供之服務代理器的集中管理機制。使用者只需要下載一個簡單的服務代理器並安裝到他們的行動裝置中，此代理器會連接到相對應的服務提供者，並利用”POST”的方式傳送XML-RPC request給後端伺服器。後端伺服器收到此request後會執行適當的程序去處理它，然後傳回XML-RPC response給使用者。大部分的運算程序都在擁有強大運算能力的後端伺服器完成。因此，行動裝置的負擔相對地較輕；不需要擁有強大的效能，也可以降低行動裝置的製造成本。

With the development of mobile devices, people can execute many applications on their personal devices at any time and in any place. However, many limitations of the mobile devices, e.g., CPU, memory, power supply, etc., make them impossible to be completely the same as the desktop PCs. In this paper we present an integrated management architecture for thin-client purpose called Agent and Profile Management System (APMS). The users of mobile devices can use the services from various service providers via this system. On the other hand, the centralized management of service agents provided by the service providers is employed in this system. The users only need to download a simple service agent to their mobile device and install it, then the service agent will connect to the homologous service provider, send an XML-RPC request by “POST” to the back-end server. After receiving the XML-RPC request, the back-end server executes appropriate processes and returns an XML-RPC response to the mobile device. Most of the procedures are accomplished on the server side that has powerful CPU and large amount of memory. Therefore, the loading of mobile devices is relatively low and the cost of mobile devices can be effectively reduced.
