ABSTRACT
This extended abstract looks forward at which shared concepts and approaches are shaping future research in the field of location privacy, as well as reflecting on the broader achievements and progress that the field can claim. Seven key principles of research into location privacy are proposed. Taken together, these principles aim to delineate what makes research into location privacy and location-awareness different and distinctive, when compared with other research topics in privacy and spatial information science more generally.

Cover locations: availing location-based services without revealing the location
WPES '11: Proceedings of the 10th annual ACM workshop on Privacy in the electronic societyLocation-Based Services (LBSs) have been gaining popularity due to a wide range of interesting and important applications being developed. However, the users availing such services are concerned about their location privacy, in that they are forced to ...
Preserving location privacy without exact locations in mobile services
Privacy preservation has recently received considerable attention in location-based services (LBSs). A large number of location cloaking algorithms have been proposed for protecting the location privacy of mobile users. However, most existing cloaking ...
A taxonomy of approaches to preserve location privacy in location-based services
The ubiquity of smartphones and other location-aware hand-held devices has resulted in a dramatic increase in popularity of location-based services (LBS) tailored to users' locations. The comfort of LBS comes with a privacy cost. Various distressing ...
