Journal of Location-Based Services

The first issue of the Journal of Location-Based Services is now online. It includes a very complete editorial lead article with A critical evaluation of location based services and their potential written by Jonathan Raper. There are several more issues of the journal queueing up to get into print, but the editors are still looking urgently for new LBS articles.

The call for paper, states a wide scope of interest:

Published research will span the field from location-based computing and next-generation interfaces through telecom location architectures to business models and the social implications of this technology. The diversity of content echoes the extended nature of the chain of players required to make location-based services a reality. Hence the journal’s aim is to bridge the research undertaken in industry and academia and promote communication amongst all in this diverse and rapidly growing sector

Relation to my thesis: a very fine place to publish.
