ABSTRACT: Location Based Services (LBS) have become a popular technology to
retrieve information about the surroundings
of a mobile user which results in ubiquitous demand of spatial information
service with diverse needs of different types of users. The aim of this paper
is to reveal the potential of cloud-based spatial information service
architecture that plays an integral role in LBS design and practice. This paper
analyzes the characteristics of the spatial information of cloud services, such
as data access transparency, spatial analysis parallelization, service
capabilities flexible, information services standardization, service
aggregation visualization, re-development flexible. This paper provides a
possible solution to overcome the LBS service issues. In this paper, the short
review of LBS and Cloud computing are
given first and then the possibility of LBS design with cloud computing are
analyzed. At last, cloud-based spatial information service architecture is
proposed.
