A SME-friendly framework for the provision of mobile services

Abstract

The development and operation of value-added data services for mobile terminals still requires a lot of time, manpower, highly specialized know-how about telecommunication networks and financial resources, so for small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) it is difficult or even impossible to set up such services for their own use or for their customers. Since SME play an important economic and thus social role, often contribute to innovation and many of them have highly specialized know-how this is an untenable situation. The aim of the intended research-project MODIFRAME is therefore to develop and evaluate a technical framework which provides the complete infrastructure needed by SME to develop and operate mobile services.
