At the leading edge of initiatives in the broadband sector is LandMARC (Lancaster and Microsoft Active Research Collaboration). This is a Microsoft Research-funded project at Lancaster University that aims to build a research environment based on Microsoft technology to support important areas in mobility, distributed systems, and networking research. Nokia has been working with the Communications Systems department for nearly four years - starting with the development of advance learning and training materials for mobile applications development and expanding into a wide variety of research into innovative mobile commerce systems and applications. This research partnership equips the department with the very latest phones, software and development tools - often prior to their commercial release - which enables researchers to produce cutting edge applications for mobile phones such as mixed reality game PAC-LAN which is helping to shape a whole new genre in game development and the live Premiership Football results service MFOOTY which provides anytime, anywhere information as it happens. Nokia supports the University's MSc in Mobile Game Design and M-Commerce Systems - one of the leading courses in mobile applications in Europe and the only course in the UK to teach mobile phone game design. |
