Olli Oskari Koskimies
Principal ResearcherNRC Helsinki, Finland
I am currently working in NRC Advanced Systems Engineering, looking at how various NRC inventions might be transferred into products.
Professional Activities
I manage the open-source mobile XForms project Xfolite, which is based on a prototype XForms client that was developed during several research projects.
Research Interests
In general, I am interested in adaptive and device-independent software technologies for the mobile environment. I have worked in the past on MMS content adaptation, a device independent web application framework (Consensus EU project), several implementations of a device independent markup language (XForms), and an ultra-configurable XForms-based client platform for SME applications.
Research Projects
Platform for SME services (2006-2008): We developed a flexible platform for developing SME services. The Nokia Tej service which is currently live in India is based on learnings from this work.
Mobile XForms implementation (2004-2006): Both S60- and J2ME-based prototype XForms clients were created. The latter was later used for implementation of a prototype SME service platform.
Consensus EU project (2002-2003): The project defined a renderer-independent markup language (RIML) and created a prototype system for device-indepedent web application development that supported voice, WAP 1.0, WAP 2.0 and Web clients.
MMS Content Adaptation (2001-2002): Adaptation of MMS images and videos to suit the capabilities of the receiving device.
