Enabling Technologies for Mobile Services: The MobiLife Book (REPOST)

This book’s emphasis is on describing a complete architectural framework, which combines theory and practice in a way that gives a realistic view of the opportunities and challenges in the applications and services area, including results from both extensive user evaluations and technical evaluations. It will cover topics in the B3G area that are not yet well covered, namely applications and services from the users, key enabling technologies, regulatory and business models, end-user evaluations and applications/services creation points of views. Especially, the book describes the results and conclusions of practical work that has taken place during the major collaborative MobiLife research project with around 1500 person-months of work during 2.5 years (Sep/2004-Dec/2006), and is building on the former and parallel interaction with the Wireless World Research Forum.
