Location- and Context-Awareness - Mike Hazas

. .

Résumé :
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Location- and Context-Awareness, LoCA 2006, held in Dublin, Ireland, in May 2006. The 18 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from 74 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on location sensing, mapping, privacy and access, context sensing, social context, representation and programming.
