In Cooperation with
The 4th International Conference on Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering (MUE2010)

Call for papers for TAFLBS2010 Workshop
________________________________________
In Cooperation withMUE2010 (June 28-30, 2010 San Diego, California, USA)
International Workshop on the Theory and Application Frontiers of Location Based Services (TAFLBS) was founded and first organized by Chinese and Irish researchers, Dr. Yuefeng Liu and Dr.Jianghua Zheng in 2009. TAFLBS2009 was successfully held on 3rd June, 2009 in Qingdao China. It comprised 10 papers from 23 submitted papers from different countries or regions. All the accepted papers were published by IEEE CPS. Prof. Lei Yan, from Peking University, was invited to give a keynote presentation. National University of Ireland Maynooth, StratAG (Strategic Research Cluster in Advanced Geotechnologies), Peking University, SFI (Science Foundation Ireland), Xinjiang University, and the Sino-Ireland Joint Research and Education Centre (SIJREC) are the major supporting institutions of the workshop. It is intended to build this workshop into an international series with the highest reputation in the field of LBS.
Location Based Services (LBS) form a promising and fast developing field. It advances the development of ubiquitous services with diverse content. It uses mobile platforms upon which multiple sensors and measurement systems can be integrated to provide continuous, three-dimensional positioning and orientation. To support the sustainable development of LBS, TAFLBS is designed to be a showcase for new theories, technologies and applications to demonstrate the potential of the field and realize its scientific, social and commercial value. These new aspects may include but are not limited to advances in positioning technologies, spatial and Geoinformatic modeling, computer algorithms, applied modelingand concrete application demonstrations.
Contributions from the fields of Cartography, Geoinformatics, Computer Science, Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing, Telecommunication, Geodesy, Geomedia Techniques, etc. should address, but are not limited to, current advances in

o          Theories for Location Based Services
o          Pervasive Technologies for LBS
o          Mobile and Ubiquitous Mapping
