Abstract (Englisch)

The MIcrosystems platform for MObile Services and Applications (MIMOSA) is an integrated project by a strong and synergetic consortium gathering large industrial partners, SMEs, research organizations and universities throughout Europe. MIMOSA creates a new open system platform for context-aware mobile services and applications. The approach is mobile phone based, thus providing the users with a smooth transition from current mobile services to ambient intelligence services. In the area of short-range connectivity, MIMOSA positions itself to low-cost and low-bit rate territory that can be set up with relatively modest investments in the infrastructure. At the same time, however, a wide range of consumer applications is covered. With this positioning, MIMOSA will quickly make ubiquitous computing a reality.
The main focus of MIMOSA is the development of novel low-power microsystems to create the MIMOSA technology platform. MIMOSA develops, in particular, wireless sensors exploiting the RFID technology, highly integrated readers/writers for RFID tags and sensors, low-power MEMS-based RF components and modules, low-power short-range radios, advanced integration technology, and novel MEMS sensors for context sensitivity and intuitive, user-friendly interfaces. These are the key building blocks to create the vision of Interactive Intelligent Emotional Environments.
MIMOSA extends the area of telecommunication business to ambient intelligence and thus further supports the strong competitive edge of European industry. By creating an open interface for various microsystems, MIMOSA also provides a fruitful soil for growth for the microsystem industry and for the micro/nano-technologies. The MIMOSA open platform opens new high-volume business opportunities for system developers.
