Title	Map-based Mobile Services Theories, Methods and Implementations / edited by L. Meng, T. Reichenbacher, A. Zipf.
Physical Description	XII, 260 p. online resource.
Contents	Map-based mobile services -- Portrayal and Generalisation of Point Maps for Mobile Information Services -- Activity and Context — A Conceptual Framework for Mobile Geoservices -- Effectiveness and efficiency of tourism maps in the World Wide Web and their potential for mobile map services -- The Cognitive Reality of Schematic Maps -- Adaptive Visualisation of Landmarks using an MRDB -- Ego centres of mobile users and egocentric map design -- Adaptation to Context — A Way to Improve the Usability of Mobile Maps -- Focalizing Measures of Salience for Wayfinding -- Adaptive egocentric maps for mobile users -- Cartographic Location Based Services -- XML in Service Architectures for Mobile Cartographic Applications -- A Survey of Map-based Mobile Guides -- Position Determination of Reference Points in Surveying -- Dynamic 3D Maps for Mobile Tourism Applications -- Designing electronic maps: an ethnographic approach.
Summary	The development of wireless telecommunication and ubiquitous computing te- nologies has led to a growing mobile population and dramatically changed p- terns of working and everyday life. A smooth and safe mobility is only possible when the mobile person is well-informed of the happenings in his ambient en- ronments. Location-sensitive maps have proved a strong enhancement to what a mobile user can directly perceive from his ambient environments. Since ancient times the map has been the favorite communication language of spatial infor- tion. It is even more the case for mobile applications where brand-new maps can be wirelessly retrieved or generated in real-time. The upsurge of map-based s- vices on mobile devices has raised a number of new questions challenging the conventional computer-assisted cartography. Map-based mobile services provides a contemporary overview of research and development issues related to the design and the use of mobility-supporting maps. The book has been written for professional cartographers who are striving for - tending their theoretical, methodological and practical knowledge to mobile m- making, for surveyors and geo-service providers involved in the development of intelligent location-based services, for software developers and cognitive scientists engaged in human-computer interaction, and for students and academics in cart- raphy and geoinformation sciences. The book was initiated by the multidisciplinary workshop “Design of m- based mobile services” within the frame of the conference “Human and Computer 2003 – Interaction on the movement” held in Stuttgart, Germany, September 2003.
