On location models for ubiquitous computing

Common queries regarding information processing in ubiquitous computing are based on the location of physical objects. No matter whether it is the next printer, next restaurant, or a friend is searched for, a notion of distances between objects is ...
Semantic Location-Aware Model for Ubiquitous Computing
ISISE '08: Proceedings of the 2008 International Symposium on Information Science and Engieering - Volume 02

In order to integrate heterogeneous location-aware systems into ubiquitous computing environment, a novel semantic location-aware model based on ontology is presented. The location-aware model has the capabilities of sharing knowledge, reasoning and ...
A Distributed Location Based Service Framework of Ubiquitous Computing
ICNDC '10: Proceedings of the 2010 First International Conference on Networking and Distributed Computing

Location based services (LBS) are very abundant in our society, which focus on providing users navigation information to make the travel more convenient. With the rapid development of evolving mobile technologies (3G, Wi-Fi, and IPv6), large amounts of ...
