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. This book defines the LBS field and identifies its capabilities, challenges, and technologies. The contributors are recognized experts from academia and industry. Coverage includes navigation systems, middleware, interoperability, standards, and mobile communications. A sample application, the "find-friend" application, is used throughout the book to integrate the concepts discussed in each chapter. 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on July 25, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions. 650 0$aMobile computing. 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 700 1 $aSchiller, Jochen H. 700 1 $aVoisard, Agnès. 776 1 $cOriginal$z1558609296$z9781558609297$w(DLC) 2004047761$w(OCoLC)54817091 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9781558609297$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 41$zTable of contents$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els051/2004047761.html 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els051/2004047761.html 907 $a.b13655346$b24-02-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003249449707536 994 $aC0$bTEF 996 $aLocation-based services$91213063 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale029$b24-01-08$cm$dm $e-$feng$gcau$h0$i0
