The PoSIM Project |

The heterogeneity among the available positioning systems, together with the fact that current wireless clients tend to simultaneously host several wireless technologies useful for positioning (e.g., terminals with Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth connectivity and/or equipped with GPS), motivate the need for novel middleware solutions capable of integrating the available positioning techniques, of controlling them in a synergic way, and of dynamically selecting the most suitable solution depending on context. We propose our original Positioning System Integration and Management (PoSIM) middleware for the efficient and flexible integrated management of different positioning systems. PoSIM focuses on three aspects:

PoSIM enables differentiated visibility levels to flexibly answer all possible application requirements stemming from different LBS deployment scenarios and application domains.
