Nowadays, handheld devices such as mobile phones and PDAs are getting increasingly powerful in terms of their processing and storage capabilities. Communication networks like WLAN, GPRS and UMTS are becoming faster and widespread. These technologies bring a multitude of opportunities that have not been possible before, like the introduction of highly personalised and context-aware applications. These applications make use of information on the user's context (e.g., location, temperature, handheld device capabilities, etc.) to provide tailored services. Context-aware platforms are being developed to support context-aware applications, by offering generic and reusable context-aware functionality. This paper identifies and evaluates a couple of methods for location prediction that could be incorporated in context-aware platforms.
