Welcome to the VIVIAN public pages!

The objective of the VIVIAN project is to provide an adequate mobile platform for handheld terminals and PDA devices (e.g. PSION netBook, NOKIA 9210, COMPAQ iPaq, etc) which will enable the easy development of third-party software applications. To reach this objective the VIVIAN project intends to provide a mobile middleware platform (e.g. based on wireless CORBA) on top of popular operating systems for handheld devices (e.g. Symbian OS) in order to enable to the mobile terminals a full-fledged component-based development technology, extensible on request according to the application needs. The key to the industrial success of the VIVIAN approach lies in the fact that the consortium composition covers a wide spectrum of application providers from different market domains as well industries involved with the development of core middleware for mobile platforms. Hence, the outcome of the project is preset to satisfy the needs of various application domains and to meet the goals of the mobile middleware providers.
