The first overview of Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) standards and how they enable Next Generation Applications Provides a comprehensive insight into the service enablers published or being developed by the OMA Demonstrates how the development and architecture of Service enablers facilitate the adoption of mobile multimedia services Unique approach combines a thorough introduction, (explaining what the OMA Service Environment or OSE is, and how OMA standardizes enabling technologies) with a practical guide (explaining how and where to find relevant information in OMA) OMA encompasses all sectors of the industry from mobile operators, software vendors, and equipment and mobile systems manufacturers

The first part of the book provides an overall but concise introduction to service enablers for Next-Gen applications. It describes the problems that service enablers are attempting to solve. It chooses to use the horizontal services architecture developed by OMA as the framework to introduce and describe a judiciously selected sample of OMA service enablers. Part I wraps up with bringing to the fore the Open Mobile Alliance, an international specifications setting body that delivers open specifications for creating interoperable services that work across countries, operators, fixed and mobile terminals. Part II builds on the concepts introduced, and discusses a number of topics that are of horizontal interest in OMA. Part III then continues with in depth coverage of a carefully selected range the OMA service enablers.
