Abstract
Location-based services have gained wide employment in the recent years. In addition to user location, the services can be adapted to the context such as user interests, preferences, personal profiles, mobile devices and time. Even the location system per se can be adaptive too, which incorporates multiple available positioning methods and returns an fused and improved location estimation. This paper first presents the concept of adaptive location system and discusses its implementation with sensor fusion algorithms. Then the paper focuses on how to apply context-awareness and adaptivity to location-based services. At the end of the paper the implementation of adaptivity in a real location-based application is presented.
