This book introduces readers to mobile information services for
networks. The content is divided into eight chapters, each of which
presents a specific concept and the latest related developments in
mobile information services. Mobile information services for networks
can be defined as platform-independent functional entities that provide
various services based on the communication network platform. The book
discusses the three main supporting technologies for mobile information
services: neighbor discovery in the data link layer; routing and
balanced association in the network layer; and community structure
detection in the application layer. Lastly, the book describes the
development of applications based on the authors' mobile information
service platform, as well as related key technologies in the domains of
intelligent transportation, smart tourism, and mobile payment, such as
trajectory analysis, location recommendation, and mobile behavior
authentication, which are promoting the development of mobile
information services.
This book offers a valuable reference guide for researchers in the field
of computer science and technology, as well as those in the field of
network mobile information service technology.
