RADAR: an in-building RF-based user location and tracking system

by Paramvir Bahl, Venkata N. Padmanabhan , 2000
"... The proliferation of mobile computing devices and local-area wireless networks has fostered a growing interest in location-aware systems and services. In this paper we present RADAR, a radio-frequency (RF) based system for locating and tracking users inside buildings. RADAR operates by recording and ..."

The design and implementation of an intentional naming system

by William Adjie-Winoto, Elliot Schwartz, Hari Balakrishnan, Jeremy Lilley - 17TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES (SOSP '99) PUBLISHED AS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW, 34(5):186--201, DEC. 1999 , 1999
"... This paper presents the design and implementation of the Intentional Naming System (INS), a resource discovery and service location system for dynamic and mobile networks of devices and computers. Such environments require a naming system that is (i) expressive, to describe and make requests based o ..."

The Active Badge Location System

by Roy Want, Veronica Falcao, Jon Gibbons - ACM Transactions on Information Systems , 1992
"... cation is the `pager system'. In order to locate a person a signal is sent out by a central facility that addresses a particular receiver unit (beeper) and produces an audible signal. In addition, it may display a number to which the called-party should phone back (some systems allow a vocal me ..."

Kerberos: An Authentication Service for Open Network Systems

by Jennifer G. Steiner, Clifford Neuman, Jeffrey I. Schiller - IN USENIX CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS , 1988
"... In an open network computing environment, a workstation cannot be trusted to identify its users correctly to network services. Kerberos provides an alternative approach whereby a trusted third-party authentication service is used to verify users’ identities. This paper gives an overview of the Kerb ..."

The physiology of the grid: An open grid services architecture for distributed systems integration

by Ian Foster , 2002
"... In both e-business and e-science, we often need to integrate services across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic “virtual organizations ” formed from the disparate resources within a single enterprise and/or from external resource sharing and service provider relationships. This integration can be t ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1362 (34 self) - Add to MetaCart
, this architecture defines a uniform exposed service semantics (the Grid service); defines standard mechanisms for creating, naming, and discovering transient Grid service instances; provides location transparency and multiple protocol bindings for service instances; and supports integration with underlying native

Pastry: Scalable, distributed object location and routing for large-scale peer-to-peer systems

by Antony Rowstron, Peter Druschel , 2001
"... This paper presents the design and evaluation of Pastry, a scalable, distributed object location and routing scheme for wide-area peer-to-peer applications. Pastry provides application-level routing and object location in a potentially very large overlay network of nodes connected via the Internet. ..."

A Scalable Location Service for Geographic Ad Hoc Routing

by Jinyang Li, John Jannotti, Douglas S. J. De Couto , David R. Karger, Robert Morris
"... GLS is a new distributed location service which tracks mobile node locations. GLS combined with geographic forwarding allows the construction of ad hoc mobile networks that scale to a larger number of nodes than possible with previous work. GLS is decentralized and runs on the mobile nodes themselve ..."

Location-Aided Routing (LAR) in mobile ad hoc networks

by Young-bae Ko, Nitin H. Vaidya - IN: INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MOBILE COMPUTING AND NETWORKING (MOBICOM’98 , 1998
"... A mobile ad hoc network consists of wireless hosts that may move often. Movement of hosts results in a change in routes, requiring some mechanism for determining new routes. Several routing protocols have already been proposed for ad hoc networks. This paper suggests an approach to utilize location ..."
Abstract - Cited by 880 (10 self) - Add to MetaCart
information (for instance, obtained using the global positioning system) to improve performance of routing protocols for ad hoc networks. By using location information, the proposed Location-Aided Routing (LAR) protocols limit the search for a new route to a smaller “request zone” of the ad hoc network
