Description
Location-based services (LBS) are a new concept integrating a user?s geographic location with the general notion of services, such as
dialing an emergency number from a cell phone or using a navigation system in a car. Incorporating both mobile communication and spatial
data, these applications represent a novel challenge both conceptually and technically.
The purpose of this book is to describe, in
an accessible fashion, the various concepts underlying mobile location-based services. These range from general application-related
ideas to technical aspects. Each chapter starts with a high level of abstraction and drills down to the technical details. Contributors
examine each application from all necessary perspectives, namely, requirements, services, data, and scalability. An illustrative example
begins early in the book and runs throughout, serving as a reference.
Audience
database professionals and researchers, software engineers, systems architects, project leader, project manager, web services professionals, mobile services professionals
