Singapore launches contest to create applications for next-generation technology

2009/08/11

Singapore has launched an idea generation and software development contest, aimed at expanding mobile lifestyle applications with the use of intelligent software.

Called the MOBiE-Odai, the contest is co-organized by Singapore's Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), together with Hitachi Asia Ltd, according to statements by the two companies on Thursday.

The contest aims to challenge participants to be creative, innovative and resourceful in exploring the use of technology to connect personal information to the real and internet world.

"We encourage participants to build powerful software applications and unique application ideas," said managing director of Hitachi Asia Toshio Toda.

The contest would also introduce Plog-in Platform (PiP) software, a personal log storage system that collects and stores a user's personal activity over a lifetime automatically and transparently into mobile devices such as cell phones.

The contest will end on Dec. 31 this year, and participants stand a chance to win prizes worth up to 12,000 Singapore dollars (about 8,340 U.S. dollars).
