AUTHOR(S): Ian Koeppel
ABSTRACT: The convergence of multiple technologies including geographic information systems (GIS),Internet, wireless communications, location determination, and portable devices has given rise to exciting new types of information utilities that may be referred to simply as location services.
Also called mobile location services, wireless location services, or location-based services, these systems are making a major impact on how we navigate our world and how business is done. Knowing where a person or object is at any time presents a powerful new dimension to the kinds of information services that can be offered. Location services deliver geographic information between mobile and/or static users via the Internet and/or wireless network.
