Location-Based Computing for Infrastructure Field Tasks

Location, location, location: Selecting sites for controversial facilities

While a large literature exists on the siting of controversial facilities, few theories about spatial location have been tested on large samples. Using a new dataset from Japan, this paper demonstrates that state agencies choose localities judged weakest in local civil society as host communities for controversial projects. In some cases, powerful politicians deliberately seek to have facilitie...

AD LOC: Location-based Infrastructure-free Annotation

We introduce AD LOC, a system for mobile users to collaboratively tie persistent virtual notes to physical locations without the need for any servers embedded in the environment or accessed via the Internet. Instead, all notes are proactively cached solely on the mobile devices of passing participants and served up to others in the vicinity via ad hoc wireless protocols like WiFi. By making use...

Infrastructure-based location estimation in WLAN networks

This paper focuses on fundamental system deployment aspects of location estimation in 802.11-based wireless networks. We concentrate on adaptable infrastructure-based approaches, where sniffers measure received signal strength from clients to locate them. Our implementation experience and experimental results show that sniffer-based location estimation is feasible and works well provided some i...

A Modular Data Infrastructure for Location-Based Services

Knowledgable Location-based Services (LBS) aim at enabling mobile users to specify their requests and profiles on the move and providing them with context-aware and personalized local information relevant to their current activity and request. Therefore, it opens up new challenges in data infrastructure, knowledge representations and data management etc. In this paper, firstly we will discuss t...
