Abstract

This paper introduces a software platform for DVB-H and IP Datacast that combines Java technology with XML-based description languages and is part of the architecture developed within the MOBISERVE project. First of all it explains the motivation for combining both technologies. Secondly, it shows the architecture and the interlinking between XML and Java. An example service (ZooGuide) is demonstrated in order to show the platform capabilities and the advantages of this approach. The service is realized on a DVB-H consumer terminal. Finally, the implementation is evaluated and possible enhancements of the platform are shown as an indication for future work.
