MobiLife

Overview

People are used to being able to contact anyone, anywhere, at anytime. However, the challenge of enabling mass-market-scale ubiquitous services and applications remains. MobiLife Integrated Project in IST-FP6 is to bring advances in mobile applications and services within the reach of users in their everyday life by innovating and deploying new applications and services based on the evolving capabilities of the 3G systems and beyond. The project addresses with a strong user-centric view problematics related to different end-user devices, available communication networks, interaction modes, applications and services.
