The First ACM
International Workshop on Mobile Entity Localization
and Tracking in GPS-less Environments
Location-awareness is a key component for achieving
context-awareness. Recent years have witnessed an increasing trend of location-based
services and applications. In most cases, however, location information is
limited by the accessibility to GPS, which is unavailable for indoor or
underground facilities and unreliable in urban environments. Much research
has been done, in both the sensor network community and the ubiquitous
computing community, to provide techniques for localization and tracking in
GPS-less environments. Novel applications based on
ad-hoc localization and real-time tracking of mobile entities are growing
as a result of these technologies. It is time to bring leaders from both
the academic and industry research communities to discuss challenging and
open problems, to evaluate pros and cons of various approaches, to bridge
the gap between theory and applications, and to envision new research
opportunities in MELT. The workshop seeks to provide a forum for the
state-of-the-art technologies in mobile localization and tracking and novel
applications of location-based services. The one-day workshop will have a
combination of invited talks, technical presentations and discussions.
