Description

CONTESSA aims to transform the content creation and distribution industry by allowing content to be automatically and cost effectively adapted to any requesting device (PC, smart phones, mobile phones, PDAs, DTV set-top-boxes, etc.) seamlessly over any network infrastructure. The main objectives of CONTESSA are:
  • Develop a content transformation engine that will provide translation and integration of content into device-tailored user interfaces through alternative communication channels. The system will track and manage alternative access devices while providing a personalized environment for content deployment based on a standardized XML framework that will allow the content to be extracted, converted and integrated, without the creator's interference.
  • Validate the system through a number of interactive transactional services to be delivered over multiple types of networks, to devices using different access protocols enabling e-Commerce and e-Business widespread application.
