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.
