Definition

  • Location-based services (LBSs) have emerged primarily due to the availability of, and the possibility of coupling, “location,” “mobility,” and “context” information. Of these, location and mobility play central roles, and context describes the environment for the process of decision making in LBSs. [Source: Encyclopedia of Geography; Location-Based Services]
