Produktbeschreibung
This book provides an overview of positioning technologies, applications and services in a format accessible to a wide variety of readers. Readers who have always wanted to understand how satellite-based positioning, wireless network positioning, inertial navigation, and their combinations work will find great value in this book. Readers will also learn about the advantages and disadvantages of different positioning methods, their limitations and challenges. Cognitive positioning, adding the brain to determine which technologies to use at device runtime, is introduced as well. Coverage also includes the use of position information for Location Based Services (LBS), as well as context-aware positioning services, designed for better user experience.

Jari Nurmi works as a Professor at Tampere University of Technology, Finland since 1999, in the Faculty of Computing and Electrical Engineering. He is working on embedded computing systems, wireless localization, positioning receiver prototyping, and software-defined radio. He held various research, education and management positions at TUT since 1987 and was the Vice President of the SME VLSI Solution Oy 1995-1998. Since 2013 he is also a partner and co-founder of Ekin Labs Oy, a research spin-off company commercializing technology for human presence detection, now headquartered in Silicon Valley as Radiomaze, Inc. He has supervised 19 PhD and over 130 MSc theses at TUT, and been the opponent or reviewer of 32 PhD theses for other universities worldwide. He is a senior member of IEEE, member of the technical committee on VLSI Systems and Applications at IEEE CAS, and board member of Tampere Convention Bureau. In 2011 he received IIDA Innovation Award, and in 2013 the Scientific Congress Award and HiPEAC Technology Transfer Award. He is a steering committee member of four international conferences, in the chairman position in two. He has edited 5 Springer books, and has published about 350 international conference and journal articles and book chapters. He has participated in the Marie Curie ITN network MULTI-POS as the network coordinator and scientist in charge.
