adaptive-location-based-services

Location based services are defined as information systems that are accessible via an mobile network (cellular) that uses the devices ability to give it's geographical position. This project has as objective to create a platform (with an API) where Location Based Services can be as easily ... [More] developed as any normal web application. This platform will deal with the managment of users (using Oauth), locations (using Google maps APIs), web Interfaces (using Django), SMS (using gnokii or similar) and Instant Messaging services (using XMPP). It will use whenever possible the MVC pattern all along the development as well as REST services and XMPP to link all the modules together. This is the Bachelor's degree thesis dissertation of Gonzalo Maldonado For the Electronics and Computer science Engineering degree at Universidad Iberoamericana, Mexico City. [Less]

The advancement in the sector of mobile and pervasive computing has lead to the significant developments in area of Mobile Technology. Present generation has become more dependent on their mobile devices like laptops, cell phones, PDA’s, etc than ever before. This has lead to the booming mobile ... [More] markets and need for the better services. Location Based Services or Context Aware Internet Data Services have thus become the buzzword these days. Due to the availability of limited resources like the memory, processing power, bandwidth, battery life, screen size, etc on the mobile devices, there arises the need of a middleware, which can take care of complexities like resource sharing, connectivity loss, mobile payment and mobile security. This project offers a common stack of services that are needed to build platform independent location aware applications for mobile platforms. These services hide the complexities from the mobile devices and act as the backbone for the location based applications. Location of a device is detected using the Cell ID of the mobile service provider or based on the WiFi hotspot currently being used by device. Devices capable of supporting Java™ will have a client application running on them and will allow users to access on demand services. Users of the older devices will be able to configure their preferences on a website and access the location based services using SMS and MMS Middle-Tier Implementation The middle tier is implemented using J2EE. It’s technically divided into two parts Servlet layer,which accepts the http request; and EJB 3.0 layer, which is responsible for handling the business logic, retrieving and storing the result in the database. EJB 3.0 layer is sub divided into three sections Session Beans, Entity Beans and the TopLink connector. TopLink is an object-relational mapping (ORM) package for Java developers. It provides a powerful and flexible framework for storing Java objects in a relational database. The Entity beans represents the number of tables in the database, and they provide the set of getter and setter operations required to manipulate the records in the tables. These operations are internally used by the Session Beans created from these Entity Beans, and they are not exposed to the outside world. The session bean layer is sub divided into three different packages namely: Session Bean created from Entity Beans, Service Session Bean and the helper session bean. The Session Beans created from the Entity bean provide CRUD Api’s, which are private and can only be accessed by the Services Session Bean Api’s. The Service Session Beans are responsible for providing the business logic, i.e. the core services which the middleware promises. The service session beans are divided into five different beans, each of which representing a service like Caching, Privacy, Location, Authentication and Billing. The Api’s created in these Session Beans are the one’s which are basically exposed as middleware for location based services. Finally, the last package of session beans is the helper package, which basically consists of all the helper classes and the POJO’s declaration, which are passed and returned through out the Service Session Beans.

GeoPress.my

GeoPress is the world's first entirely OpenSource Geo-Tagging Platform.... Install GeoPress on your own server, create maps, places and start checking-in. You can create both private and public places, leave full HTML content for both checkins and place descriptions. However, please note ... [More] that at present, GeoPress is in an EXTREMELY alpha state. It has been released now to the public not only as a way to demonstrate what is possible with BackPress - http://backpress.org - but to more importantly get people to start thinking about the importance of such a platform.
