Abstract

InfoParco is a system to support the exploitation for touristic purposes of the environmental, architectural, natural and economic resources of the natural park Velino-Sirente in the Abruzzo region. The system supports access through different technologies, notably through a sophisticated web interface and through a WAP interface that allows access through mobile terminals. The kind of services accessible through the WAP interface are of various nature both static and dynamic, more in detail we can access information on services of public use, accommodations, weather forecasts, description of natural resorts and itineraries, cultural exhibition and leisure in general. In this paper, we will discuss the design guidelines we followed in designing the set of services accessible via WAP interface (e.g. guaranteeing a logical coherence with the way the same information is provided at web level), the technological limitations and the adopted solutions. We will end summarizing on our experience.
