Location-aware service for the UbiCollab platform

Abstract

Location-aware services have become more important during the last decade due to the increasing mobility and connectivity of users and resources. Location-awareness is an important aspect of making an application context-aware. In supporting collaboration in a ubiquitous computing environment taking advantage of location information is an important feature. The UbiCollab Platform is a platform that supports collaboration in a ubiquitous environment. This thesis presents an extension of the UbiCollab platform to make it location-aware. The work shows how the location service can be developed to handle storing and querying of location information.
