Project Abstract	Mash-ups of web content are quickly growing in popularity due to an increasing amount of public APIs for web ser-vices. Similarly, web-enabled cellular phones are becoming increasingly pervasive. We present Lash-Ups, a toolkit that enables programmers to create mash-up-like location-aware web services for phones. This toolkit solves two fundamental problems. First, it provides a simple, standard API for programmers to use locations of users as an input to their Lash-Ups. Second, it provides a way for programmers to distribute their Lash-Ups to users based on location. We support both push- and pull-based applications, and our platform runs on commodity GSM cellular phones.
