In this study, a location based reminder application RemindMe, enhanced with various location tagging options using social networking APIs is proposed. Main purpose of this application is to allow users to create reminders based on the location besides time and to notify users with those reminders automatically. In terms of ease of use, a hybrid structure consisting of various components is formed for location tagging. First of all, the user tags the locations using the applications such as Google Maps or Foursquare or via the embedded sensors of the Android device. Then, he creates reminders for the tagged locations and when he gets close to this location, the system notifies the user. Our application is separated from similar applications with its enhanced location tagging feature. Moreover, by consisting of various services, it is open to innovations on the way to become a social reminder application. The usability test results indicate that RemindMe is an effective location based reminder application.

Context-aware location recommendation by using a random walk-based approach
Bagci, Hakan; Karagöz, Pınar (2016-05-01)
The location-based social networks (LBSN) enable users to check in their current location and share it with other users. The accumulated check-in data can be employed for the benefit of users by providing personalized recommendations. In this paper, we propose a context-aware location recommendation system for LBSNs using a random walk approach. Our proposed approach considers the current context (i.e., current social relations, personal preferences and current location) of the user to provide personalized ...
Context aware friend recommendation for location based social networks using random walk
Bağcı, Hakan; Karagöz, Pınar (null; 2016-04-10)
The location-based social networks (LBSN) facilitate users to check-in their current location and share it with other users. The accumulated check-in data can be employed for the benefit of users by providing personalized recommendations. In this paper, we propose a random walk based context-aware friend recommendation algorithm (RWCFR). RWCFR considers the current context (i.e. current social relations, personal preferences and current location) of the user to provide personalized recommendations. Our LBSN...
TRUST-AWARE LOCATION RECOMMENDATION IN LOCATION-BASED SOCIAL NETWORKS
Cantürk, Deniz; Karagöz, Pınar; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-8-9)
Users can share their location with other social network users through location-embedded information in LBSNs (Location-Based Social Network). LBSNs contain useful resources, such as user check-in activities, for building a personalized recommender system. Trust in social networks is another important concept that has been integrated into a recommendation system in various settings. In this thesis, we propose two novel techniques for location recommendation, TLoRW and SgWalk, to improve recommendation perfo...
Location update generation and performance analysis in cellular mobile computing systems
Yoncacı, İlker; Demirös, Onur; Erten, Murat; Department of Information Systems (2002)
The Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) allows user universal and worlwide access to information and the ability to communicate with each other independently of their location and mobility. Tracking mobile users is one of the basic functions of the network system and one of the important issues in the design of a mobile computing system is how to manage the real-time locations of mobile clients. Most of the mobile computing applications are expected to support location- dependent continuous querie...
GPS/INS enhancement for land navigation using neural network
Kaygisiz, BH (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2004-05-01)
We propose in this paper a method to enhance the performance of a coupled global positioning/inertial navigation system (GPS/INS) for land navigation applications during GPS signal loss. Our method is based on the use of an artificial neural network (ANN) to intelligently aid the GPS/INS Coupled navigation system in the absence of GPS signals. The proposed enhanced GPS/INS is tested in the dynamic environment of a land vehicle navigating around a closed path on the METU campus and we provide the results. Ou...
