description

In this paper, we describe a computational model that produces a dataset which we consider to be an appropriate response for “give me a description of my neighborhood” type of queries in location-based services Our attempt is to reflect the abstraction ability of a specific user, and in this way to maximize the usability of the service under restrictions on data volume posed by technical, economical and cognitive factors of mobile environments We also present the results of instantiating the model for a simple LBS.
