Welcome...

Welcome to the Location Based Services (LBS) website. On this site you will find information about my Computer Science Research Project.

The project is an investigation into the development of standalone LBS. The purpose of this research is to explore the possible location of this class of LBS on a mobile device (mobile phone) in order to achieve maximum portability. In addition to this, this research will establish how the source of the location information ( GPS, Cell Tower Triangulation, WiFi triangulation) partition this class of LBS.

The objectives of this project are to...

• Examine the methods used for locating devices and:
  How information available divides the types of services that can be developed.
• Explore the extent of portability of LBS services given current technologies.
• Develop a service that can used test for the above mentioned.
