*** Autodesk Location Services Introduces the Autodesk LocationLogic
Software Development Kit
(February 23)

Autodesk Location Services, a division of Autodesk, Inc. introduced the
new Autodesk LocationLogic Software Development Kit (SDK).

The product features a collection of tools for building applications
delivered through channels such as J2ME, WAP, i-mode and HTML. It
provides application development built on the LocationLogic middleware
platform by providing reusable API components, extensive developer
documentation and sample source code. The new LocationLogic SDK is
available now, and Autodesk Location Services will be demonstrating
services developed with it in its corporate suite across from the Palais
des Festivals in Cannes.

Some of Autodesk LocationLogic SDK's key features include:

- The ability to create location-sensitive alerts through Web services
- J2ME API that leverages the channel's user interface and allows for
map rendering with pop-up windows, the display of traffic incidents
along a route, and the creation and management of alerts
- Web services API with developer documentation, tools, and sample
applications

The Autodesk LocationLogic SDK is compliant with the OpenGIS Location
Services Specification that was officially adopted by the GIS Consortium
last month. Co-authored by Autodesk, this open standard specification
allows interoperability between location-enhanced applications built
from the specification. The SDK supports both hosted and in-network
deployments of the LocationLogic platform. It enables application
development in environments such as Sun Microsystems Java, Microsoft
.NET and C++.
