4 1 Project status The fifth implementation phase involved getting the production environment set up and tested. The major difficulties were getting the Nokia WAP Server license and getting the permission to connect the Cisco Access server to the HUT Telephone exchange. The production environment was launched to the general public trough notices in the two campus newspapers (TKK Nyt and TKY Nyytiset) on Monday March 19. Already some people have given comments on the three launched services; a static version of WAPTopi, the Otaniemi campus area MenuService and the Otaniemi EventCalendar. The previous phase involved extending the existing applications to a larger production server and further develop the existing services. Negotiating the necessary resources has been the most difficult part, also in this phase. The number of people involved in the project has also expanded to include over 30 people, making it hard to manage. See list below. 2 Next phase During the next phase we will collect and analyze the access logs and feedback from users using the Tripoli WAP services. This feedback will be used to improve the services according to the killer-app process. During the next phase the WebTOPI developers should also get their code ported to Enhydra 3.1 so that we can develop the WAPTOPI service. For this we need to integrate Enhydra with the Trimedia Service development platform and build WML cards of the TOPI service. Getting the Oracle database installed and the TOPI Oracle SQL data into the Oracle database is also part of this phase. 3 Accomplished tasks 3.1 Software WAP Gateway WAP gateway has been updated to run on Windows 2000 Server to enable remote administration of the server using Windows Terminal Client once the server is confined to the locked server room. At the same time the Nokia WAP server software has been upgraded from version to 2.0. Studied WAP gateway's API Progress Report 4

5 3.1.2 Trimedia service The Trimedia service development platform is up and running on the machine dev.tky.hut.fi. Developed services so far are WAP eventcalendar and WAP restarant menu list. WAP TOPI course information tool is waiting for the original WebTOPI developers to port their code to the new Enhydra Hardware Cisco 3620 IOS system software configured, Radius authentication added New powerful Windows 2000 server machine aquired, installed and configured in room A218. Moved to TKO lab server room once fully configured. 3.3 Infrastructure Linux system installed for use as Webtopi Oracle databases. Oracle has been installed. 4 Contact persons One of the central problems in the killer-app process has been to manage the large amount of people involved in the project. The mere coordination of the project takes a lot of time and energy. 4.1 First phase Getting the necessary funding and permission to start project.
