Abstract

The world of location-based services (LBS) has been becoming more diversifying and amazing with its rapid growth in recent years. Moreover, the development has spread to many aspects in all walks of life and got powerful promotion from advanced information and communication technologies. Its pervasive moves, however, leave great concerns behind, which can cause roadblocks in the path of its prosperity. Three of them, identified as heterogeneity, user privacy, and context-awareness, have called for much attention and investigation in both research and industry community world-wide. In response to the call, we propose an elastic and open design platform named OpenLS Privacy-aware Middleware (OPM) for location-based applications as a unified solution to these issues.
