LBS 2.0 - Enabling User-Driven Provision and Context-Aware Utilisation of Location-Based Services

Abstract

This poster presents a novel idea of how to provide users with location-based services. The key issues lie in radically simplifying the provision and the utilisation of services. Therefore we introduce Mobile Geo Widgets. Our objective is to make it possible for non-technicians to compose these via a Web toolkit without the need for specialized knowledge, and to enable people to use them on their mobile phones in a context-aware manner without any installation effort.
