Abstract

All the components necessary forrealizing location-aware computingare available in the marketplacetoday. What has hindered the widespreaddeployment of location-based systems isthe lack of an integration architecturethat scales with user populations.The authors have completed the initialimplementation of Rover, a system designedto achieve this sort of integrationand to automatically tailor informationand services to a mobile user's location.Their studies have validated Rover'sunderlying software architecture, whichachieves system scalability through highresolution,application-specific resourcescheduling at the servers and network.The authors believe that this technologywill greatly enhance the user experience inmany places, including museums, amusementand theme parks, shopping malls,game fields, offices, and business centers.They designed the system specifically toscale to large user populations and expectits benefits to increase with them.
