Enabling Technologies for Mobile Services

Advances in mobile and wireless communication are expected to make possible a new wave of ubiquitous services and applications, reaching mass markets. The harder task is building applications that meet what end users actually need and that keep them engaged over time. The book approaches this problem as a whole and offers practical advice for designing new and innovative services. Its material comes from a collaborative research project in which these methods and technologies were tested and put to use.

The book is aimed at professionals who work with enabling technologies and service architecture within companies. Academics and students of applications, services, enabling technologies and service architectures at universities will also find it useful, as will anyone curious about the wider questions surrounding mobile technology.
