ZHINDON, Martin; CABRERA, Luis  e  QUEVEDO, Sebastián. Prototype of a Location Based Service to revitalize Tourism in the Azogues cantón. RCTU [online]. 2017, vol.4, n.2, pp.127-133. ISSN 1390-7697.  https://doi.org/https://doi.org/10.26423/rctu.v4i2.221.

Azogues canton possesses a tourist and cultural potential; however, due to the lack of resources, it has not been exploited to promote tourism. The main objective of this work is to contribute to tourism through the implementation of a Location Based Service (LBS) prototype. This prototype allows determining the geographical location, forthcoming events and detailed information on the different tourist destinations of Azogues Canton. Embedded technologies in the mobile devices have led to the LBS, with tourism as the major consumer of this service. In order to accomplish the development of this prototype, the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methodology was combined to assess the Software Requirement Specifications (SRS) and to establish the development tools that fit the best with the tourism requirements. In addition, the SCRUM agile methodology was also combined to manage the development process of the prototype. As a result, a multi-layer hybrid prototype was implemented by using mainly the Apache Cordova reference framework for the mobile customer and Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) for the server.
