Towards Ubiquitous Positioning (UbiPos): A GNSS Perspective

摘要

Ubiquitous computing or UbiComp represents the third wave in computing which has evolved from mainframe (one computer was shared by many users) and personal computing (one person uses one computer) eras. This so called “calm technology” encompasses many background supporting disciplines such as distributed computing, mobile computing, telecommunications, sensor networks, human-computer interaction, location sensing and artificial intelligence, just to name a few. As a most important element of UbiComp, Ubiquitous Positioning or UbiPos, particularly Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning or augmented GNSS based UbiPos has not yet been well studied which is impeding the development and applications of UbiComp.
