Abstract :
Location-based services are playing an increasingly important role in the rapidly evolving world of mobile applications. Despite this importance, there are numerous challenges to providing a widely implemented and usable service that spans multiple places, devices, and location technologies. This paper describes WhereAmI, a unique location services testbed that addresses these challenges and is enabling significant research and development of location-based applications and services.
