Abstract
Location-based services (LBS) and context-aware systems
typically exploit the tracking of people to offer personalised services.
Examples of these sorts of applications include allowing vulnerable people
to summon help to their current location, providing personalised guidance,
ordering a taxi and finding the nearest cash point. To provide such
services, information about the users' location needs to be published to one
or more service providers (possibly third party organisations.) Key factors
in the acceptance of such systems are preservation of control and awareness
of dissemination of this information; people using these services do not
want to be under surveillance. The fundamental difference between tracking
and surveillance is who is in control. There is little or no provision for
access control to location information in current systems.
