UNIK4710 – Selected topics in mobile semantic service delivery
Course content
The course links the mobile and Internet service world together with user preferences and context information.
Example 1: The way mobile advertisements are being received by you depend very much on your situation and your interest. “If you are running to the train to catch it, you don't want to be disturbed by anything else than the message that the train is delayed”.
Example 2: Building communities in mind is independent of physical locations. “It's more fun to watch TV together. Let's enable chat and talk with all my friends watching the same TV channel as me.”
