N1 - This paper, the result of a collaboration with the University of Minho, addresses the problem of scalable support for location based service discovery by introducing a flexible model that defines the association between services and location and an infrastructure optimised for location-based queries. The work directly lead to 2 new research grants at Minho, both funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology: LOCAL - Location contexts for location-based services and applications (Feb. 2004/ Jan. 2006, 46.092 ') and VADE - Value Added Environments for Dynamic Support to Location-Based Services in UMTS Networks (Feb. 2002/Out. 2004, 68.595 ').
