A middleware for location-based mobile applications with privacy protection
Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-based Applications & Services, 2008Network operators gradually open their interfaces to formerly hidden services. This fosters the development of a new class of mobile applications that take into account context information such as the location of users. However, the development of location-based services also raises the issue of users location-privacy.In this paper we introduce a ...

HTML5 Location-Based Applications
2012One of the biggest opportunities presented to mobile developers is the wealth of options opened up by the very nature of Android devices like phones and tablets: They are mobile! While the location of a user of a traditional desktop application can be interesting, it’s rare for someone to pick up a desktop machine and move about with it all day.

Managing uncertainty in location based applications
2005 2nd Asia Pacific Conference on Mobile Technology, Applications and Systems, 2005In previous work we introduced the idea of user modeling as a means of reducing uncertainty in location tracking of human-controlled moving objects. We used the name roving users (RU for short) to refer to this subset of moving objects. In this paper we discuss the issue of reducing the complexity of the user model caused by variables with high number ...

Location-Based Illustration Mapping Applications and Editing Tools
Cartographica, 2013Although commercial Web mapping is popular now, illustrated maps are widely used in print media and have advantages. The immeasurable distortions of illustrated maps create difficulties when applying them in location-based services. Based on previous research, the authors propose an improved framework for supporting illustrated maps to be integrated ...

Preserving privacy in location-based mobile social applications
Proceedings of the Eleventh Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems & Applications - HotMobile '10, 2010Location-based social applications (LBSAs) rely on the location coordinates of the users to provide services. Today, smartphones using these applications act as simple clients and send out user locations to untrusted third-party servers. These servers have the application logic to provide the service, and in the process collect large amounts of user ...
