Preface This book provides a collection of contemporary research papers related to Locationbased Services. These activities have emerged over the last years, especially around issues of positioning, sensor fusion, spatial modelling, cartographic communication as well as in the fields of ubiquitious cartog-raphy, geo-pervasive services, user-centered modelling and context-awareness. The innovative and contemporary character of these topics has lead to a great variety of interdisciplinary contributions, from academia to business, from computer science to geodesy. Topics cover an enormous range with heterogenous relationships to the main book issues. Whilst contemporary cartography aims at looking at new and efficient ways for communicating spatial information, the development and availability of technologies like mobile networking, mobile devices or short-range sensors lead to interesting new possibilities for achieving this aim. By trying to make use of available technologies, cartography and a variety of related disciplines look specifically at user-centered and context-aware system development, as well as new forms of supporting wayfinding and navigation systems. The chapters of this book are a selection of full-text blind reviewed papers submitted to the 8th International Conference on Location-Based Services in Vienna in November 2011. We are grateful to all colleagues who helped with their critical reviews. Please find a list of their names afte
