Localization in Smart Environments
  
  Abstract:
  Smart spaces imply the use of networked sensors,  actuators, displays and computational elements embedded seamlessly in the  environment. At medium term, the ambient intelligence will have big  implications in the way that people interact with their environment. The  research in this area has many technological challenges related to artificial  intelligence and sensor networks, being one of the most important the  achievement of location systems operating in indoor areas. Paper in this  special session would include the following topics (not limited to):  Localization Sensors and Technologies; Indoor and Outdoor Localization Systems;  Acoustic, Radiofrequency and Vision Technologies for Positioning; Localization  in Wireless Networks; Theoretical Methods and Algorithms for Localization;  Sensor Fusion for Robust Positioning; Applications of Local Positioning  Systems; Location-Based Services, Ambient Intelligence, and Context-Aware and  Pervasive Systems.
