This paper presents a generic solution for the delivery of new services, advertising and marketing for the tourism sector to take advantage of the spatial context of the user — Mobile Advertising. The practical implementation of the suggested methodology is focused on the Tourism Region of Douro, in Portugal.

Spatial-temporal data watch to digital media: PhD thesis proposal in informatics engineering

This paper presents a PhD thesis proposal in Informatics Engineering, scheduled for completion in July 2018. This PhD thesis is part of Spatio-Temporal Information Systems, with applicability in technological communication tools and visual representation of knowledge, for Digital Media (newspapers, radio and television). It is intended to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of the value of heterogeneous, multivariate, multidimensional information characteristic of this context, produced and shared by different sources, in different formats. It is hoped that participation in this Doctoral Symposium will enrich and update the work in progress and help the preparation of the PhD thesis proposal.
