We invite three types of contributions: full papers to present scientific results (limited to 16 pages), work in progress papers to present on-going work (limited to 10 pages) and showcase papers for live presentations of research prototypes and products (limited to 4 pages). All contributions must be uploaded through the submission site at EasyChair.
All submissions will be refereed for quality, originality, and relevance by the Program Committee. Accepted papers will be published in the Springer LNCS series.
A selection of best papers will be considered for a special issue of the Journal of Location Based Services.
