Project News: i-Travel workshop in Brussels on 13 November

Date: 19 September 2008

The “i-Travel”  project is co-funded by the European Commission and 19 partners from industry, public authorities and research agencies to deliver a context aware seamless travel assistant for anyone planning and making a journey – whether a short, regular trip or a longer business or leisure trip.

i-Travel is developing innovative travel solutions
• A user front-end that adapts to a user’s fixed or mobile access terminal.
• A context-aware and position aware digital intelligent travel agent.
• An e-marketplace back-end where a community of service and information providers can publish, negotiate and supply their services. 

The objective of this workshop is to present the project’s results to the wider travel community and gain feedback on the business process, use cases and architecture suggested to support the i-Travel concept. Attendance at the workshop is free and open to all companies or organisations involved in travel and traveller services from flight booking to public transport information and ticketing.

The workshop will cover:
• Traveller state of the art
• Review of the i-Travel use cases
• Review of the i-Travel business processes
• Review of the high level i-Travel architecture
• Building the i-Travel community

We are pleased to announce two invited speakers David Moncholí of IDOM and Nadav Gur, CEO, MobiMate Ltd. Workshop agenda and details are provided in the attached document.
