ABSTRACT

Positioning is an essential component for the deployment of the evolving context-aware concepts. Information Society Technologies (IST) project PoLoS investigates existing schemes for Location-Based Services, Geographical Information Systems, positioning techniques and network interfaces, in order to design and implement a platform catering for the majority of Location Based Services issues. Facilitating towards this direction, PoLoS' Positioning component (POS) is introduced as a generic, scalable portable, open, modular and efficient QoS enabled framework, offering independence from the underlying heterogeneous network infrastructures and positioning techniques.
