ABSTRACT

LBS are the mobile services in which the user location information is used to provide a service. Providing Location Based Service (LBS) using Global Positioning System (GPS) as a location provider. The main objective of this work is to design and implement a client server system that helps users to locate their family members and receive alerts when friends are nearby. The server was implemented using JSP since JSP guarantees that the server would not be overloaded. The type of the Database used in the system was Oracle 10g. The average location accuracy of the application is about couple of meters .It was developed mainly to be used in navigation systems. Because of the reduction in the size of the GPS receivers and because of the integration of GPS with some mobiles; GPS became one of the most important service providers in the LBS. The main objective of this work is to design and implement a client server system that helps users to locate their family members and receive alerts when friends are nearby.
