Corinne Kassapoglou Faist, EPFL, propose un exposé court sur le thème:
An Integrated Platform for Location-based Services built on Java Technologies

Abstract:
In the context of a EU project, an integrated platform that caters for the 
full range of issues related to location-based services (service 
development, deployment and provisioning) has been developed and 
demonstrated. The platform serves as an execution environment for service 
instances, integrates various positioning systems (GPS, GSM-based, 
WLAN-based), and supports multiple end-user intefaces. In addition, a 
service creation environment enables high-level service specification in an 
XML-based language, service deployment and testing.
The platform is based on open technologies, mainly J2EE and Web Services. 
The service creation envitronment is based on the Eclipse Project.

The speach will be in English.
