A Web 2.0, Location-Based Architecture for a Seamless Discovery of Points of Interests

Abstract

This paper presents a system for a location-based discovery of points of interest, based on the current geographic position of mobile users. The proposed approach exploits a mixture of Web 2.0 technologies (for the localization of point of interests), positioning techniques and cross-layer networking schemes for a seamless navigation, while moving through different and heterogeneous wireless networks.
