Programme 2000 - 2006 Atlantic Area

Date of latest update: 2021-04-06

Description

Description (EN):

This project aims at including the mobile and wireless technologies (WEB, WAP, SMS/MMS, JAVA applications) in a territorial information system to involve the local stakeholders in the use of new technologies. The project seeks to use these applications to promote culture and tourism. The following actions will be taken: - Set up a working structure (Management committee) to manage the project; - Design and develop communication tools, based on mobile and wireless technologies and create a technology platform for the information system; - Develop a network of partners for the sustainable implementation of the SMITA (Atlantic Territory Mobile Information System) at local level, to be able to disseminate the tool effectively at a later date. Each partner will use existing networks to create synergies with SMITA; - Disseminate SMITA through online teaching techniques (e-learning). This involves creating a corporative image and a protocol to control the quality of the information integrated in the system and generating teaching tools to facilitate its use.

Achievements (EN):

- Design of an innovative information system for mobiles, organisation of an international public competition for the development of SIS and argumentation on the principal technical decisions during the development phase. SIS is an open source technology platform highly innovative in LBS and which could be implemented in other administrations willing to communicate tourist and cultural information to mobiles and PDAs. - At national level, all the partners have increased their databases and cultural and tourist maps, by adding a new category of data, introducing geo-references and updating databases on short duration events. Trans-national cooperation has facilitated the exchange of solutions and methods to achieve these results. - All the partners in the country have worked hard to integrate the SIS system in their respective information systems with different results: 1.The Algarve had the most successful integration with the regional information system for the development of the Algarve by Globalgarve, the regional development agency for technologies. These services were launched in the Algarve in July 2008, 2.La Huelta and la Junta de Andalucía also succeeded the integration of their SIS and worked on compiling regional databases for events, 3.The Irish partner agreed to a prolongation due to the technician in charge of integrating the SIS changing jobs, 4.Tenerife had a recurring technical problem in installing the SIS on their servers and they planned that their regional hub could be led from the centre of the Globalgarve base in Faro. - Creation of 2 jobs for men and 1 for a woman. - Website: http://www.smita.mobi, (created in March 2006 and substituted by the SIS page since October 2007)
