Towards a Spatial Position Information Management System for Interactive Building Environments

Abstract

Abstract. Indoor localisation systems enable a variety of assistance services in commercial buildings and home environments. Applications in this area cover guidance, asset tracking, behaviour monitoring for smart assistance and alert systems, intelligent remote control, to name a few of them. It is desirable to employ a position information management system which collects, manages, offers and distributes such information. This paper focuses on how to design such a middleware which gathers position information from one or more localisation systems and provides this data to interested and authorised applications.
