The proliferation of positioning technologies, such as GPS receivers and Wi-Fi, gives locations good opportunities to meet diversely data/information. Locations are combined with keywords in the spatial web querying that return objects that are near a location argument and are relevant to a text argument. Location-based social networking services allow social networks to connect and coordinate users with local people or events that match their interests. Location-based advertising pinpoint consumers location and provide location-specific advertisements on their mobile devices. Vidcinity (Video+Twitter+Foursquare) http://www.vidcinity.com/ allows users to share and discover videos near a location. These various fusions enlarge the scope of location-based services and pose new challenges on the data management.


This workshop aims to facilitate the collaboration between researchers by presenting cutting edge research topics and methodologies. We encourage papers that propose novel location-based functionalities. Below are some possible combinations of locations and diversely data to be considered. Other fusions are also welcome.

• Location + keyword

• Location + social network

• Location + photo

• Location + video

• Location + twitter

• Location + advertisement

• Location + tag
