GLAZE
End-User Generated Location Aware Applications on Mobile Devices
|
Location-aware applications are expected to experience tremendous growth
with the popularization of GPS-enabled cell phones. However, building these
applications still requires a long time and a high level of technical expertise,
making it difficult to address those countless location-centered activities
in our daily lives.

In this project, we propose a system for creating
location-aware mini-applications, GLAZE (Generalized Location Aware modelZ for
End-users), which enables the average end-user to create everyday location-aware
applications by themselves and on their cell phones. The GLAZE system provides a
set of location-aware primitives named REWIND (REad, WrIte and fiND) to help
end-users model and generate their intended applications though the help of a
set of form-style smart templates. The GLAZE system is designed to lower the
floor of location-aware application creation and encourage both expertise sharing
and group interactions in a community.
