N2 - This work was carried out in the research project "WML
Browser" of VTT Information Technology between March 1999
and April 2000. The main goal of the project was to build
a software that is capable of browsing WML (Wireless
Markup Language) and emulating different WAP (Wireless
Application Protocol) terminals, and allows the WML
developer to build and edit WML documents by using visual
components. Also, the project group decided to use the
existing technologies and well-defined specifications and
open standards as much as possible. The developed
software was named Visual WML.
WAP architecture enables the interconnection of the
wireless data network and the wired data network, and WAP
technology brings the Internet content and advanced data
services to digital cellular phones and other wireless
devices. At the same time, the variety of different kinds
of mobile terminals and networks are increasing. For
instance, the forthcoming mobile communication channels
will increase the transmission capacity, and wireless
local area networks will offer fast and easy access to
wired internet, corporate and home environment LANs and
their services. Hence, in particular, tools for WAP
application development are required.
Visual WML is a tool targeted for editing, creating and
browsing WML documents. It is also possible to emulate
different kinds of WAP devices by utilizing User Agent
Profiles.
