Project summary

Application developers are desperate for solutions, which they can use to offer and use mobile services via the Internet, in one standardised manner. This would make it significantly easier to search for and link services. But before we get to that stage, a lot has to happen in 'development land'. The application environment that the WASP project will be realising will make it easier for providers of mobile services to offer and manage their services, while searching, finding and purchasing these services becomes easier for the users. In addition, through the use of web services*, these services will be able to utilise the intelligence of the mobile network, something that is not easy at present. With this simplification, WASP will help bring advanced mobile services closer to the user.
