Abstract:
This paper presents a work in progress towards a middleware platform to support enhanced location-based services through real-time mobility analysis and mobility patterns acquisition. The platform provides services for mobile users and also for mobility analysts. Mobile users are enabled to receive notifications in response to emergency, contingency situations or deviations from mobility patterns. Mobility analysts are enabled to analyse mobility behaviour of users during time scales and territorial scopes as well as to obtain and program mobility patterns and indicators of mobile users and groups of users. Enhanced location-based services are possibly if and only if powerful and efficient capturing, pre- and post-processing of mobile information schemes are adequately implemented and put in place in favour of ubiquitous location service provisioning.
