Introduction
- The iBrussels Wireless Campus- Application strategy: towards a organically
growing “Virtual Service Delivery Platform”- The example of Oyble- Demo

iBrussels: wireless campus
• mission: a permanent test- and demozone active partnership with industry
and government platform for scientific research and
education• Offer living lab environment with
+10000 users• design, develop & evaluate
reference applications in a real life context
• focus on mobile, web 2.0, internet of things

Urbizone as a catalyst
• Free public wifi network on university campus• Supports broadband-intensive services• 1 km2 outdoor + strategic indoor coverage• Direct connection to fiber
backbone• Active user community• Part of larger Brussels wifi
infrastructure (largest in Belgium)

Focus of experiments
• Different application domains– Sport & leisure– Education / R&D– Culture– Work/productivity– Social networks

These applications are not silos
• Developed pragmatically
• Exist as independent applications and tools within campus portfolio
• At the same time pieces of a larger puzzle
• Versatile components that can be used by other applications

Virtual Service Delivery Platform
• Strategically add to a “Virtual Service Delivery Platform”
• And by opening up your technical infrastructure: users can become co-creators

Oyble: part of iBrussels demozone
• Developed out of real campus needs
• We have a teacher-student e-learning platform: Pointcarré (Dokeos-based)
• Problem of last-minute notification, re-scheduling classrooms
• Could not depend on mobile internet alone, must have a wider reach
![Page 10: Oyble presentation at Fireweek 09, Lulea](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55592cc7d8b42a543d8b4761/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Oyble: a piece of the puzzle
• Initial idea of an sms alerting application…
• … soon became that of a loosely coupled service that allows members of any group to connect in heterogeneous circumstances
• Much more use cases possible
![Page 11: Oyble presentation at Fireweek 09, Lulea](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062513/55592cc7d8b42a543d8b4761/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Oyble: a group-communication hub
• Users can send/receive messages or interact with the service using SMS, e-mail, the web or an API
• A widget that can easily be pasted into existing websites is available
• May be used as broadcast or as many-to-many communication tool
User talking, other users listening

Oyble
• Swiss army knife: API to get messages in + make it possible to speak to other APIs from within Oyble
• Can be used as application extension, part of VSDP-puzzle
• Not limited to the campus demozone

Other use cases / the future
• Letting users and groups (e.g. student bodies, research departments) use it on the iBrussels campus
• Opening up to other interested parties• Exploring other use cases:small-to-medium
sized communities (e.g. ‘soccer parents); bridging communities and technology (e.g. grandparents-grandchildren, digital divide project, …)
