Abstract

With the advances in wireless communications and mobile device technologies, location-based applications or services will become an essential part of future applications. We have developed a location-based application called NAPA (Nearest Available Parking lot Application) that assists users to find the nearest parking space on campus. NAPA is an example of an application which combines a number of new features, such as location-based, wireless communication and a directory service like LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
