Future Mobile Web Services and Applications
Overview
Mobile communication
technologies have penetrated to everyday life invisibly in the developed
world. However, mobile communication, mobile internet applications and
services could have much stronger impact on future of developing
countries in the world, where traditional network infrastructure is not
well or even not established.
As a sub project of the research cluster
UMIC within the German Excellence
Initiative, it aims at exploring future application scenarios of mobile services
to support wide user communities to perform social, scientific,
educational, economic,
environmental activities in developing countries. To that end,
requirements in the aspects of performance, reliability, security,
energy efficiency, software architecture etc. need to be analysed
systematically. Through the state-of-the-art information technologies such as
advanced database technologies for spatial objects and multimedia,
service-oriented architecture, and new concepts of Social Software and
Web 2.0, context-aware community information services are in
expectation.
Within this UMIC area, several
sub projects are in progress. (1) The case study of ACIS
to support cultural scientists communities in the relief work in
Afghanistan within the UNESCO-project is the first step to the goal.
(2) The Community of Bamiyan
Development provides professionals a platform to share knowledge, to
promote international, intergenerational, interdisciplinary and
intercultural cooperation, and to take up the challenges in Bamiyan
preservation together. (3) Virtual Campfire is a framework of
mobile social software to bridge wide communities and diverse
multimedia.
