At the core of invisible computing

is context awareness,

the concept of sensing and

reacting to dynamic environments

and activities. Location

is a crucial component of context,

and much research in the past decade

has focused on location-sensing technologies,

location-aware application

support, and location-based applications.

With numerous factors driving

deployment of sensing technologies,

location-aware computing may soon

become a part of everyday life.
