Abstract:
The Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) Protocol describes an XML- based
protocol for mapping service identifiers and geospatial or civic location information to service contact Uniform Resource
Locators (URLs). LoST servers can be located anywhere, but a placement closer to the end host,
e.g., in the access network, is desirable. In disaster situations with intermittent
network connectivity, such a LoST server placement provides benefits regarding the
resiliency of emergency service communication.
