Leveraging the subtleties of location

Published: 12 October 2005 Publication History

Abstract

Virtually all pervasive computing systems use location as a major parameter governing their behaviour. Simple models of location ignore the richness that arises from humans' perception of location which - if leveraged - can greatly improve a system's ability to reason with location information. We explore how this richness arises, how it can be used to improve reasoning, and the challenges that this gives rise to.
