What is this Project about?
This study analyses how two potentially complementary architectures might support the requirements of the nomadic user:
The CoolTown-like architecture seems to have good and simple SW and HW interfaces for relating the information content to the context (location, exhibit at museum, item in shopping mall, etc.). It supports local web-based and also peer-to-peer type of interaction. It is oriented towards PDAs, cameras and other accessories nomadic user might have. It gives a good framework for collecting the information and creation of so-called content clipboards. For IT and telecom IP networks a number of opportunities could be thought of, like hot spot implementations, including phone box info up- or download, location based information sharing, exchange of content with other users, etc. Content clipboards can be processed, improved, completed, uploaded to a user's home and business domain. They can also be a basis for e-commerce activities. The forming questions for this study are:
What are the R&D activities necessary to accomplish such a combination? What are the main objectives of this Project? This study will evaluate the integration of the web based CoolTown-like architectures for local information services with the architectures of telecom IP services. The integration should be usage scenario-driven and should improve the flexibility of providing various service types to nomadic users (from professional services to entertainment and education type of services, culture, etc.) The objectives of this study are to:
The last point is particularly important considering the fact that both architectures have significant complexity and some inherent problems. What are the key results for this Project? The key results are:
