Course description

First we study background of location-aware applications including positioning and mapping. We then focus development on different mobile platforms (Android, Windows Phone, Symbian & iOS), implementation of web interfaces using JavaScript/JQuery technologies, and necessary server-side solutions. Selected research topics (GPS trajectory analysis, clustering of GPS data, location-based search, recommended systems) will be studied during the last part of the lectures.

Course requirements

The course consists of 32 hours of lectures, 8 exercises and a course project to be completed during the course as a group work. The goal is to build a complete working system for recording international student enrollment and graduation, both on web and mobile, using the location as the key aspect.
