LBDM 2013 - International Workshop on Location Based Data Management (LBDM 2013)

Nowadays location-based services (LBS) have been widely accepted by mobile users and attracted significant attention from both the academic and industrial community, thanks to modern mobile devices (e.g., smartphones) with built-in global position systems (GPS). Many location-based services, such as Foursquare and Facebook Places, bring unique location-aware experiences to users. Mobile internet usage should take over desktop internet usage. Therefore, location based data management will be more and more important.
The objective of this workshop is to provide researchers with a forum to discuss and share the state-of-the-art of location based data management techniques. The workshop hopes to explore the research challenges in location-based system design, core algorithms, query optimization techniques, performance modeling and evaluation, from the perspective of location-based applications. We welcome research papers of original work that address fundamental research issues in location-based data management.
