Various data scandals have raised people’s risk perceptions all around the world. Due to the sensitivity of location information, these concerns are particularly significant in the context of mobile location-based services (LBS) and are generally considered a major inhibiting factor for their usage. The aim of this study is to investigate different risk facets that encompass a special type of L...

The paper presents work on user modelling of car drivers. The paper presents an implemented solution to user modelling in the car, which includes an aspect of location-based user modelling.

Empirical evidence from past studies has shown that current location-based services (LBSs) are not individually compelling enough to drive LBS adoption. To boost the adoption rate, researchers should consider an under-explored research area: the time dimension of location information. We provide examples of such LBSs that share past and future locations. We also describe several challenges for ...

This paper presents a conceptual service architecture for adaptive mobile location services, which is designed to be used in the open service environment of the next generation wireless network. The designed service architecture consists of a set of concepts, principles, rules and guidelines for constructing, deploying, and operating the mobile location services. The service architecture identi...

This paper presents location based service for telecom providers. Most of the location-based services in the mobile networks are introduced and deployed by Internet companies. It leaves for telecom just the role of the data channel. Telecom providers should use their competitive advantages and offer own solutions. In this paper, we discuss the sharing location information via geo messages. Geo ...
