Descrizione del progetto
Internet of Services, Software & virtualisation
Internet is going to be massively "mobile". The efficient and growing internet of services has also to take into account issues of this "mobility" as well as the mobile devices and their applications. If, at the origin, mobile internet solutions depended on the power of mobile operators, today the take-off of the iPhone and its application-platform "Appstore" upset the balance of the forces. The future of Mobile Internet of services is more and more about mobile applicationsThe mobile application business however is plagued by a critical and recurrent issue: Fragmentation has an extremely large number of origins and the causes of fragmentation are not fully understood in detail. Fragmentation is striking standards based mobiles platforms more severely than proprietary. How sensitive mobile application markets are against fragmentation is definitely an insufficiently documented topic. At present, without disruption, the forces of the market are likely to make the mobile application ecosystem evolve in one of three directions: (i) One takes all. There is nothing but a single application platform surviving the fragmentation. That would have dramatic consequences on many economical sectors. (ii) As a variant, few non-interoperable application platforms would survive. (iii) The mobile Internet of services just does not happen. Because fragmentation remains at an unacceptable level, innovation and service just do not reach the consumers.The Mosquito project will provide key and focussed support mainly to overcome mobile application fragmentation which prevent taking full benefit of the development of internet of services that current technology such as 3G, Wireless and future 4G (LTE, Wimax) should permit. To overcome fragmentation, an important task would be to document all issues which need to be addressed, including aspects of convergence, standardisation, validation and interoperabilility.
