Visual WML: A Development Tool for WAP Applications

摘要

The Visual WML systems is a result of the WML-Browser project (March 1999-April2000) of VTT Information Technology. The mobile Internet is said to provide the users' location and time independent data services-usage wherever and whenever. As the specifications are becoming more stable in the near future, the diversity of the terminals will increase to fulfill the different user needs. The increasing terminal diversity and the increasing population of the mobile users will add the demand for more and more personal usage profiles. Personal multimedia will be the key application area, and it also poses several challenges to the usability of services and applications. Ideally, the future solutions are based on open standards. The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) architecture provides an extensible environment for application development for mobile communication devices.
