Abstract

Publish/subscribe is a communication paradigm that suits mobile application development due to the loosely coupled, asynchronous and anonymous communication mechanisms it involves. The Phoenix publish/subscribe system is a newly created communication middleware aimed at the tourism domain, representing both a tool for the experimental study of mobility and the development of value-added visitor-oriented tourism applications, including a real-time visitor tracking system and a location-based mobile tourist guide application. Initial validation of the Phoenix system has been carried out with positive results that will require additional validation.
