The goal of this light seminar is an exploration of the spectrum of spatial localization techniques. Although the seminar will concentrate on recent work, we will also read some papers on classic techniques and systems, such as GPS and VOR. The demand for novel localization systems is being driven by the the increasing accessibility of wireless network seEsitnsors as technology trends continue to reduce their size, cost and power consumption.
The readings will cover a wide range of strategies, including multilateration, signal mapping, ad-hoc and range-free approaches. We will discuss the circumstances that affect each localization technique's performance, as well as cover related systems topics such as managing network bandwidth, storage, density and energy as it relates to localization. The seminar will also touch broader social issues such as consent, privacy, security, and access control as they relate to the creation and dissemination of the resulting localization information.
Students are expected to present one 45 minute presentation on one of the papers below, in addition to class participation via both attendence and discussion.
