ith an increasing number of businesses considering the possibility of launching location-aware, mobile commerce applications, the quality of the end-user experience till become more and more critical. We propose dynamic boolonarks and location domains as mechanisms to give conwners simple and straightfonvard access to a dynamically changing set of location-based services. Dynamic bookmarks are descriptions of services, which are bound to actual, registered, services as a user’s location changes. Location domains provide meaningful location context for location-aware services. We discuss the motivation and background of our work in progress, describe the key concepts involved, and present a system architecture we have adopted.
