Abstract: In recent years, wireless sensor networks, cell phones and granular hardware/software systems have become ubiquitous for various applications; fusing these technologies in the field of business opens up new applications. To fill this lacuna, we propose a novel idea where the combination of these technologies facilitates the stores to receive feedback on their products and services. System's unobtrusive sensors will not only collect shopping data from customers, but will also make effective use of this information to increase revenue, cut costs, etc.; the use of mobile agents-based data mining allows analysing the data from different dimensions and categorising it on factors such as product positioning, promotion of goods, etc. Additionally, the shoppers get on-the-scene recommendation of products, rather than off-the-scene. In this paper, a novel granular distributed pervasive mining system is proposed to get dynamic shopping information of the customers.
