The book, Local Positioning Systems: LBS Applications and Services, is a highly anticipated 488-page book in the industry because it is the first reference for implementing indoor/outdoor location-aware apps. It was a very good time to publish this book (after 4yrs of research that began at MIT) because the industry is realizing the limitations of GPS and cellular/telecom –based positioning. LBS/navigation applications have not been as successful on the market as expected, because they don’t work where people are: indoors and in cities. GPS is great, but not for many of the apps we will present on this website. LBS has been trying to become the “killer app” but privacy, market awareness, and indoor coverage are still pending issues affecting the success of LBS. This book address these issues.
