Abstract

The next-generation mobile devices include smart watches, wristbands, wearables (e.g., Google Glass), etc. In the future such devices will constitute a large fraction of the total devices available in the market [1]. Latest studies confirm that location-based services are the most requested feature by developers with a market share of 13B in 2013 and have expected exponential growth [2]. Future location-based applications/services will use the data generated by the new mobile devices for providing enhanced user experience. This paper presents a vision of such next-generation location-based services, which we call LBS 2.0. We present the challenges and opportunities that LBS 2.0 will pose for mobile data management.
