 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'The development of Web applications targeting Internet-enabled TV Consumer Electronics (TV-CEs) place a multitude of different requirements as compared to Web applications for PCs, PDAs or smartphones. The industry has already realized the importance of standards in this field. Industrial forums as the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), and Open IPTV Forum (OIPF) have developed relevant technology standards, as well as joined their forces for the harmonization of their efforts. Nevertheless, existing standards have not been adequately adopted by the industry and therefore the degree of standards support varies significantly across different IPTV service providers, platform providers, and manufacturers of TV Consumer Electronics. This situation has proven to favour big software development companies against SMEs that seek to enter the market. The W3TV project aims to provide a set of software engineering methodologies and tools that will allow European software SMEs to easily enter the market of applications development for Internet-enabled TV Consumers Electronics and IPTV, and easily migrate their applications across different platforms (TV-CE products, product customisations, and IPTV services platforms). The W3TV methodological framework will remove the need for SMEs to cope with a variety of platforms. Instead, they will only need to possess know-how on the development of applications on top of a reference platform that the project will define on the basis of existing standards. In addition, the project will define appropriate business models, centred on the role of SME Associations, for the exploitation of the W3TV results with the focus set on the commercialization of Platform Migration Services targeting software development SMEs.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Web applications that target Internet-enabled TV consumer electronics (TV-CEs) have different development requirements than PCs, PDAs or smartphones. An EU initiative tackled the issue of differing degrees of standards support that inhibit the entry of small businesses into the market.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Industry's inadequate adoption of existing technology standards in this field has benefited major software development companies rather than small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

With this in mind, the EU-funded http://www.w3tv.eu/ (W3TV) (Methodologies and tools for the cost-effective development of high-quality Web applications for Internet-enabled TV Consumer Electronics and IPTV) project aimed to provide a set of software engineering methodologies and tools to allow European software SMEs to easily enter the market of applications development for Internet-enabled TV-Ces and Internet Protocol Television (IPTV). It also enabled them to easily migrate their applications across different platforms.

Work began by analysing the state of the art in Internet-enabled TV platforms, applications and development tools. Project partners defined user requirements and the W3TV technical requirements.

The team developed W3TV software engineering methodologies and tools, which include the Platform Migration and Application Engineering Methodology, the W3TV Toolset, the Application Transformation Tool, and the Testing and Simulation Environment. An assessment of their effectiveness followed. These methodologies and tools will be used by engineers to develop their web applications over and above the reference and various target platforms.

Project members also developed a set of applications, including a Travel Guide application, a User Generated Content application and a Video-On-Demand application.

W3TV will help reduce investment in software engineering tools and the associated risks, as well as dependence on TV-CE manufacturers and IPTV platform providers. New sales channels will be created, leading to the potential for new revenues and enhanced competitiveness for European software SMEs.
