Keywords:
mobile information system, situation-based service, user-generated content, Web 2.0Abstract
InfoArea aims at becoming a comprehensive and uniform system for providing, consuming, and recording all kind of information relevant in mobile everyday life. In this paper we motivate the development of such a system, consider feasibility and acceptance issues, present design aspects, describe the implementation of the system and give examples of use. Finally we discuss strategies to establish InfoArea as a widely-used technology.
