Telegeoinformatics: Location-Based Computing and Services

Telegeoinformatics is a rapidly emerging subject focusing on the theory and applications of integrated telecommunications, geoinformatics and mobile computing technologies. It uses geoinformatics (GIS, GPS, satellite imagery and aerial photo imagery) in a distributed mobile computing environment where the mobile computers are linked through a wireless communication network and is paving the way for the merging of Location-Based Computing (LBC) and Location-Based Services (LBSs). This unique book covers the theory, technologies, and applications of telegeoinformatics in some depth, and should enable readers to understand, conceptualize, analyze, design and implement telegeoinformatics-related activities and projects, whether their backgrounds are in geoinformatics, telecommunications or mobile computing. It will also be useful for undergraduate and graduate courses.
