Abstract (English)

Spatial messaging allows a user to publish a geo-referenced note so that any other user that arrives at the specific location can get the message. Spatial messaging is in this sense a kind of blog linked to a specific time and space location. However the implementation of reliable services based on user defined geo-spatial information, requires the development of tools for the definition of the confidence rate the users should give to the posted information. This project targets in the development of a platform integrating a trust engine for geo-spatial messaging services and applications.
