Delivering real-world ubiquitous location systems

ABSTRACT

To be widely adopted, location-aware computing must be as effortless, familiar, and rewarding as searching the Web. There are many challenges to this quest, but recent progress has demonstrated accurate location estimation using available wireless networking.
