NEW: LBS 2008 Showcases
LBS & TeleCartography 2008 should become a live LBS experience for all attendees! Thus, the committee is seeking for real-world showcases of location-based services. Submissions for outdoor as well as indoor LBS Showcases are welcome. Applying organizations or companies should submit an abstract description of the LBS Showcase and the mode of experiencing the showcase (app. 2 pages). The LBS Showcase Committee will select the most innovative showcase submissions for live demonstration. During the symposium the best LBS 2008 Showcase will be elected by the audience.
