Data Store Issues for Location-Based Services

Overview Location-Based Services (LBS) provide resources or information based on the user's own location or an indicated location of interest.

The paper considers specifically the areas of location representation, gathering location data, assets, location-based queries, and location system architecture, all of which are important to location-based systems and are extensions and specializations of current database issues.
