This workshop is part of the initiative started by the ICA Commission on Location-Based Services, with the aim to develop a cross-cutting research agenda, identifying key research questions and challenges that are essential for the LBS development in the next 5 or 10 years. The details of the initiative are available here at: http://lbs.icaci.org/research-agenda/.
At the first step in this process, we have received 31 one-paragraph proposals. Based on these proposals, we have complied a first list of “key problems” (PDF). This workshop will discuss these key problems in details, and aims to refine and improve this list and develop a work plan for the LBS research agenda paper.
