A Taxonomy for Mobile Location-Based Services Functions Identification

  • Juan Eduardo Durán Facultad de Matemática, Astronomía, Física y Computación, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba

Resumen

Location-based services (LBS) are widely used. We address the problem of identifying functions of a mobile LBS for functional requirements.
We found some taxonomies for LBS useful for identifying functions; in them some characteristics are too general for finding specific functions; there are not enough dimensions in these taxonomies, and some dimensions have not enough characteristics. We found papers classifying LBS into groups and for each group they present typical functions, but do not present the dimensions foridentifying all functions for an app. Our objective is to reduce these gaps. We applied Nickerson’s method to find a taxonomy for function identification. We found 3 new dimensions, and 11 new characteristics for existing dimensions.
We organized several LBS groups by saying for each group which dimensions to consider and which characteristics for these dimensions to consider; this provides a new systematic way for identifying functions for an app in a group
