Abstract
This paper presents a new mobile micro-broadcast (or near-me) Location-Based Service designed to promote face-to-face communication among users located within a given geographical area such as a University campus. Because the communication services provided are time dependent, the application decides whom to contact based on the geographic distance between the active subscribers of the service and the sender. The paper also presents some preliminary results of prototype evaluation. [For full proceedings, see ED557189.]
