Cloaking games in location based services
Proceedings of the 2008 ACM workshop on Secure web services, 2008A prototypical case of data anonymization is location anonymization: here the most common data anonymization technique - k -anonymity - corresponds to cloaking and consists in providing to the potential attacker a large granularity view of the user location. However the anonymizer should take into account that if the landscape is not neutral - so that

Modelling and transposition of location-based games
Entertainment Computing, 2019Abstract Design and development of Location-Based Games (LBG) are not trivial tasks due to their pervasive nature, multidisciplinary requirements, and global deployment issues. This paper presents a model-based approach to describe and generate LBGs. Our approach separates location data, game mechanics, and media content from the game implementation.
