Slide 2

Dublin, May 5 th 2006 Spatial data (Geo-)Spatial data:(Geo-)Spatial data: data with an associated spatial location 80% of all available data has a spatial component80% of all available data has a spatial component FormatsFormats Raster vs Structured (vector) data

Slide 3

Dublin, May 5 th 2006 Maps in mobile GIS and LBS Most commercially available mobile systems: Transmission of raster maps Transmission of raster maps (easy to compress but not as versatile) Standard content (no personalisation): Standard content (no personalisation): - information overload - low relevance

Slide 4

Performance evaluation Personalisation Multi-modal interaction

Slide 19

Dublin, May 5 th 2006 Personalisation: task completion time NP : tasks completed with non-personalised maps PP : tasks completed with maps personalised based on user interaction Personalisation improves efficiency (up to 50%)

Slide 20

Dublin, May 5 th 2006 Personalisation: layer actions Non-personalised mapsPersonalised maps Personalised maps require fewer layer actions (further reduced as users complete more tasks)

Slide 21
