Telegeoinformatics is a new discipline resulting from the integration of mobile computing with wired and wireless communications, geoinformatics (including GIS and GPS), and remote sensing techniques and technologies. Users of telegeoinformatics from every field will need a comprehensive reference to solve multiple types of problems involving location information.
Telegeoinformatics: Location-Based Computing and Services helps readers with different backgrounds and expertise to learn the fundamentals and intricacies of telegeoinformatics. The book is divided into three parts: Theories and Technologies; Integrated Data and Technologies; and Applications. These sections are broken down into chapters, each of which addresses a topic crucial to the understanding of telegeoinformatics. Authors who are experts in one or more related subject areas contributed these chapters.
This volume covers the concepts and technologies related to GIS and geoprocessing, remote sensing, the GPS, and wireless systems. It also explores the main issues of integrated data and technologies in Location-Based Computing (LBC), Location-Based Services (LBS), mediated reality, and mobile augmented reality systems. The final part discusses applications of telegeoinformatics in emergency response, mobile inspection data collection, and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS).
The chapters in this book can be read in any order depending upon your interest, and cross-referencing among chapters can be used to transition to other subjects as needed. The information in this volume will fuel ongoing understanding of and advances in applications including transportation, utilities, environmental studies, navigation, planning, and emergency response.
Industry Reviews

"This important and unique book will certainly further the understanding of and the application of telegeoinformatics in different environments such as urban planning, emergency response, real time tracking, wireless communication, and the exciting new research in augmented reality. A very readable book. Summing Up: Recommended."
- CHOICE, Nov. 2004, Vol. 42, No. 3
"This book covers nearly every aspect of location-based computing and services, and is the most comprehensive one of its kind produced hither-to...the book is well-organized and is detailed in its approach. With the rapid development of LBC and LBCS, the reviewer has no doubt that this book will be well-received...Telegeoinformatics has a reasonably good opportunity to scale great heights. This book can serve as a starting point for those interested in such a rapidly growing field."
- Geomatica, Vol. 59, No. 1, 2005

"It constitutes a concise reference on several core topics for LBS, such as positioning systems, wireless communication, and augmented reality; it provides valuable insights into some of the applications that increasingly may depend on LBS; and it makes a substantial contribution to the continuing development of this fast-moving topic."
-Matt Duckham, Computers & Geosciences, 2005
