Self service is a very special application area. The unique requirements of self service include:
Self service is quite common in banking, in the form of automated teller machines (ATMs) that provide cash and basic information, non-cash terminals that provide several information services and transactions, personal computer based services where the customer dials to the bank, and Internet based self service that is beginning to develop.
Self service is changing rapidly: Smart cards and electronic commerce offer new opportunities for self service, touch screen technology opens a better way to interact with the public, browsers and HTML provide better and more convenient ways to provide content.
Self service topics include: Automatic teller machines, kiosks, branch automation, payment systems, smart cards, electronic purse, Internet banking, security and electronic commerce.
