A Testbed for the Exploration of Novel Concepts in Mobile Service Delivery

Abstract

This paper describes an open, extendable, and scalable system that supports the delivery of context-dependent content to mobile users. The system enables users to receive content from multiple content providers that matches their demographic data, active profiles, and context such as location and time. The system also allows users to subscribe to specific services. In addition, it allows users to provide their own content and services, by either using the system's publicly available interface or by filling out one of the service-configuration templates.
