Localization in Smart Environments
Abstract:
Smart spaces imply the use of networked sensors, actuators, displays and computational elements embedded seamlessly in the environment. At medium term, the ambient intelligence will have big implications in the way that people interact with their environment. The research in this area has many technological challenges related to artificial intelligence and sensor networks, being one of the most important the achievement of location systems operating in indoor areas. Paper in this special session would include the following topics (not limited to): Localization Sensors and Technologies; Indoor and Outdoor Localization Systems; Acoustic, Radiofrequency and Vision Technologies for Positioning; Localization in Wireless Networks; Theoretical Methods and Algorithms for Localization; Sensor Fusion for Robust Positioning; Applications of Local Positioning Systems; Location-Based Services, Ambient Intelligence, and Context-Aware and Pervasive Systems.
