This book gives a general picture of research-driven activities related to the context of location and map-based services. Such activities emerged in the last years especially around issues of positioning, spatial modelling, cartographic communication as well as in the fields of ubiquitious cartography, geo-pervasive services, user-centered modelling or geo-wiki activities. The innovative and contemporary character of the topics leads to a great variety of contributions in terms of interdisciplinarity, with such varying backgrounds as from academia to business, from computer science to geodesy covering an enormous number of topics. While contemporary cartography is aiming on looking at new and efficient ways on communication spatial information the development and availability of technologies like mobile networking, mobile devices or short-range sensors lead to interesting new possibilities of achieving this aim.

Architekten, Bauingenieure, Bausachverständige und andere Fachleute sowie Bauherren, Wissenschaftler und Masterstudenten finden in diesem Buch alle Informationen zu Fassadenalgen und -pilzen. Es gibt einen detaillierten Überblick über die Mikroorganismen, die das anfängliche Wachstum an den Außenfassaden von Gebäuden bilden und befasst sich mit den ökophysiologischen Eigenschaften, die die Rahmenbedingungen charakterisieren, unter denen diese Mikroorganismen an Fassaden auftreten können. Neben einem Bestimmungsschlüssel für die charakteristischen Anflüge an Fassaden von Mikroorganismen enthält dieses Buch eine ausführliche Beschreibung der einzelnen Organismen unter Angabe ihres ökologischen Verbreitungsgebiets. Darüber hinaus werden die verschiedenen ökologischen Parameter in kurzen Kapiteln diskutiert. Auch Maßnahmen zur Vorbeugung und Bekämpfung der Besiedelung von Fassaden mit Mikroorganismen werden thematisiert.

This book provides for the first time a general overview of research activities related to location and map-based services. These activities have emerged over the last years, especially around issues of positioning, spatial modelling, cartographic communication as well as in the fields of ubiquitious cartography, geo-pervasive services, user-centered modelling and geo-wiki activities. The innovative and contemporary character of these topics has lead to a great variety of interdisciplinary contributions, from academia to business, from computer science to geodesy. Topics cover an enormous range with heterogenous relationships to the main book issues. Whilst contemporary cartography aims at looking at new and efficient ways for communicating spatial information the development and availability of technologies like mobile networking, mobile devices or short-range sensors lead to interesting new possibilities for achieving this aim. By trying to make use of available technologies, cartography and a variety of related disciplines look specifically at user-centered and conte- aware system development, as well as new forms of supporting wayfinding and navigation systems. Contributions are provided in five main sections and they cover all of these aspects and give a picture of the new and expanding field of Location Based Services and TeleCartography.
