Many context-aware mobile applications require a reasonably accurate and stable estimate of a user’s location. While the Global Positioning System (GPS) works quite well world-wide outside of buildings and urban canyons, locating an indoor user in a real-world environment is much more problematic. Several different approaches and technologies have been explored, some involving specialized sensors and appliances, and others using increasingly ubiquitous Wi- Fi and Bluetooth radios. In this project, we want to leverage existing Wi-Fi access points (AP) and seek efficient approaches to gain usefully high room-level accuracy of the indoor location prediction of a mobile user. The Redpin …

Efficient collaboration and task management is challenging in distributed, dynamically-formed organizations such as ad hoc disaster response teams. Ineffective collaboration may result in poor performance and possible loss of life. In this paper, we present an open multi-agent system, called Overseer, that leverages context information in a mobile setting to facilitate collaboration and task allocation for disaster response. We describe our system architecture, deployment, evaluation metrics, challenges and proposed solutions. We also show how mobile context can be used to create dynamic rolebased assignments to support collaboration and effective task management
