JAX08: Where am I? Location Based Services

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Its official, I will now be presenting at the JAX08 Conference with a presentation entitled:

Where am I? Location Based Services
Location Based Services stellen einen der großen Benefits mobiler Devices dar, der weit über die Bestimmung der eigenen Position hinausgeht. Im Java-ME-Umfeld werden derartige Services u.a. mittels Location API (JSR 179) realisierbar. Die Session zeigt die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen Java-ME-basierter Location Based Services und führt sowohl in die theoretischen Grundlagen als auch in die praktische Verwendung der Location API ein. Darüber hinaus wird anhand einer auf der Androids-Plattform basierenden Beispielanwendung eine Alternative zum klassischen LBS-Ansatz aufgezeigt. (click)

I will be co-presenting with my CEO - Lars Roewekamp of OpenKnowledge GMBH.

Mark Brady Openknowledge
A very exciting time to be in mobile development and location based services in general.
I will also slip in something on Snowball and demo a few Android proofs of concept applications.
