heal.abstract	This paper describes an intelligent communication and decision support system for providing wireless services in an airport environment. A novel agent-based business model is proposed and the value chain is analysed for wireless ap-plications. This system is studied and developed within the scope of the IST ADAMANT project, where the Athens In-ternational Airport (AIA) is used as the trial environment. First of all, a set of advanced, realistic decision support ap-plication scenarios enhancing the airport facilities both for the passengers and for the airport staff is identified. Most of the applications can be summarised as location-based per-sonalised services. They refer both to airport internal users and to passenger users. In order to provide these services, location-sensitive service level agreements (SLAs) and radio resource management (RRM) are introduced. The design of such a system is envisaged based on a generic, multi-agent architecture, which is also presented in this paper. Keywords—wireless application, multi-agent system, wireless business model, wireless SLA, radio resource management.	en
