Abstract

Location awareness is one of the key aspects for pervasive computing environments. It enables location data to be accessed and used anywhere by any application. Major challenges to design effective localization solutions are pervasive deployment and support for heterogeneous technologies. In our efforts to design an effective localization solution, we present a dynamic and efficient infrastructure independent layered architecture. The architecture is highly distributed, integrates inference engine to provide best location estimation for multiple technologies. Our architecture is efficient and comes across challenges in localization process such as computational power, reusability and components dependency.
