The problem of growing computational complexity in finance industry demands manageable, high-speed and real-time solutions
in solving complex mathematical problems such as option pricing. In option trading scenario, determining a fair price for
options “any time” and “any-where” has become vital yet difficult computational problem. In this study, we have designed,
implemented, and deployed architecture for pricing options on-line using a hand-held device that is J2ME-based Mobile computing-enabled
and is assisted by web mining tools. In our architecture, the client is a MIDP user interface, and the back end servlet runs
on a standalone server bound to a known port address. In addition, the server uses table-mining techniques to mine real-time
data from reliable web sources upon the mobile trader’s directive. The server performs all computations required for pricing
options since mobile devices have limited battery power, low bandwidth, and low memory. To the best of our knowledge, this
is one of the first studies that facilitate the mobile-enabled-trader to compute the price of an option in ubiquitous fashion.
This architecture aims at providing the trader with various computational techniques to avail (to provide results from approximate
to accurate results) while on-the-go and to make important and effective trading decisions using the results that will ensure
higher returns on investments in option trading.
