Mobile Life
Action Line: Applications and
services for the mobile user and worker
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. The strategic
goal of MobiLife 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 3G systems and beyond. Future
environments - affected by the ICT convergence -
give new possibilities, but also new challenges due
to increasing heterogeneity, user needs and
expectations. The research challenge of MobiLife is
to address problematics related to different
end-user devices, available networks, interaction
modes, applications and services. MobiLife will have
both technological and societal global impact by
addressing the technical viability and
user-acceptance of solutions that belong to three
main Focus Areas: Self-awareness provides support
for automatic configuration arrangement of devices,
services, and local connectivity in the user's local
environment. It also enables automatic and
multi-modal interfaces that enhance the user
experience and minimise the active user effort
needed in managing the local environment.
Group-awareness comprises context and presence
support enabling individuals to relate to, share,
and interact with each other and common artefacts.
Also novel privacy and trust models are addressed,
which are mandatory for users to be able to rely on
and use these new services and applications.
World-awareness offers automatic support for
seamless access to and delivery of services across
different domains that enable individuals to retain
the accustomed use of their services, as they move
between different environments and infrastructures.
The MobiLife consortium consists of application
owners, manufacturers, operators, solution providers
and academia. MobiLife is part of the Wireless World
Initiative.
