Presents selected papers from the Location Based Services (LBS) conference, which has a long tradition in this field and is the only international event of its kind Will be of interest for various disciplines due to the interdisciplinary content Completes the series as the successor of the former Springer books on the LBS (LBS, LBS II, Advances in LBS, Progress in LBS, Progress in Location-Based Services 2016)

Klappentext
This book gathers a selection of the best papers presented during the 14th International Conference on Location Based Services, which was held in Zurich (Switzerland) between the 15th and 17th January 2018. It presents a general overview of recent research activities related to location based services. Such activities have grown in importance over the past several years, especially those concerning outdoor/indoor positioning, smart environments, spatial modeling, personalization and context-awareness, cartographic communication, novel user interfaces, crowdsourcing, social media, big data analysis, usability and privacy.
