Middleware models for location-based services
Ana Roxin, Christophe Dumez, Maxime Wack, Jaafar Gaber · 2008
Embedded computing systems, sensor networks, LBS pervasive deployment environments, and worldwide computing systems have common characteristics. They are large scale, decentralized and dynamic networks, and needing context-awarness to automatically adapt their behaviour and continue their execution despite network dynamics. Identifying innovative software engineering approaches that take into account all the above mentionned characteristics is a real challenge. This paper focuses on LBS applications and the middleware models required for supporting their operation and characteristics.
