OFFIS
- Research and development Institute for
informatics - Non profit research institute on computer science
- About 200 employees, turnover 10.4 M (2006),
public basic funding by State of Lower Saxony,
additional third party funding (80 in 2006) - Working in six RD divisions, one of them
Multimedia and Internet Information Services - People behind LOCCATA
- Dirk Ahlers - Scientist
- Daniel Wichmann - Scientist
- Jochen Meyer Director of RD division MI
- Prof. Dr. Susanne Boll scientific leader

OFFIS Expectations
- Background Long term research in mobile
applications - Niccimon cooperation with other research
institues - Developed a mobile platform for rapid prototyping
and various experimental applications - Expectations
- Drive forward the resarch on mobile applications
and location based services - Transfer the research results to a real-life
application - Lay the ground for further mobile applications
- Gain publicity in Europe with an attractive
Galileo project

LOCCATA Interactive mobile usage requirements
- Manage Routes, POIs, Content Objects
- enable reuse of existing content
- support contexts
- content has to be assigned to different contexts
- contexts have to be extensible
- provide data for the SmartGuide
- Enable the use of heterogenous mobile terminals
- with mobile technology evolving quickly, three
stages of development are taken into account
5
LOCCATA general technical concept
- The LOCCATA system is built according to a
multi-tier structure
6
Mobile Usage (Stage 1) t-guide
- Existing solution for a standard mobile phone
without any special hardware (e.g. GPS or a
GALILEO receiver) or system needs. - By publishing telephone numbers in important
places the location-based information can be
accessed by a user at that location by simply
dialing that number.
7
Mobile Usage (Stage 2) MontaPhone
- Specific Java-based application for mobile phones
with access to a GNSS positioning device - Improved, location-based user interface to the
audio information of the t-guide - No network access needed, just a voice call to
the t-guide server
8
Mobile Usage (Stage 3) SmartGuide
- Fully-fledged, PDA-based solution
- internal or external GNSS positioning receiver
- Starting with GPS
- Later switching to Galileo
- Software building blocks
- Integration of content from the L-CMS
- Presentation of information according to users
(GNSS-determined) location - The SmartGuide is the central result of the
LOCCATA project
9
LOCCATA Access
- Package to go
- Full package of all contents for deployment on
the mobile device - Web
- Presentation of the content on a (e.g. tourist)
web site - Phone
- Access to audio content
10
L-CMS - LOCCATA Content Management System
- Three types of content objects
- Media Items
- e.g. texts, audios and pictures
- Points of Interest
- individual geographical points that are of
interest and are associated with several media
objects - Hiking tours
- Consisting of POIs, route details, route
description - L-CMS developed based on Plone OpenSource CMS

Status at the end of the project
- Final Demonstrator of software system up and
running - Developed according to requirements
- Technically operational
- First user-tests finished successfully
- Comprehensive Demonstration and Dissemination
activities - representatives of local and regional authorities
and tourist organisations regularly participated
in interim and final demonstration meeting - Good media coverage
- Radio interviews in Germany
- Report in regional Vorarlberg TV
- Internet TV report
- Individual promotion by project partners
- High interest in Loccata results by tourist
experts
13
General Exploitation Plan
- Generic Plan Service oriented
- Give away the software for low-cost or even free
of charge - Option Put everything into OpenSource
- Needs to be checked to ensure that all partners
intersts are considered - Charge for adaption to users demands and for
consulation - Key Partners Telesis, LovelySystems, OFFIS
- General agreement collaborate on further
exploitation - Telesis Consultancy, Product Launch
- LovelySystem Adaption and hosting of L-CMS
- OFFIS Adaption of mobile applications
Integration of Galileo - Details need to be discussed as exploitation
evolves over time
14
OFFIS Exploitation Plan
- SmartGuide L-CMS can be used in other
application areas - Mobile platform as basis for flexible application
development - L-CMS as convenient way to handle content
integration - OFFIS has made some contacts already
- Schlossmuseum Jever (Castle Museum of the city
of Jever) - guide through the castles garden gt cultural
heritage - EWE (regional energy supplier in north-western
Germany) - guide through the region gt regional marketing
- RIS Weser-Ems (Regional Innovation Strategy)
- Demonstration for North Sea tourism gt tourism
- Contacts are still small-scale and/or early
stage, but developing - Ongoing presentations
- e.g. at Heidelberg Innovation Forum Wednesday!
15
OFFIS Future Activities
- Longer-term perspective Loccata spin-off
- Based of OFFIS Guidelines for Spin-Offs
- Excellent possibilites in the environment of a
transfer-oriented research institute - Consolidating the activities within OFFIS
projects first
