Location-Based Information Systems (Open Access): Developing Real-Time Tracking Applications
暫譯: 基於位置的資訊系統(開放存取):開發即時追蹤應用程式

Labrador, Miguel A., Perez, Alfredo J., Wightman, Pedro M.

商品描述

Drawing on the authors' more than six years of R&D in location-based information systems (LBIS) as well as their participation in defining the Java ME Location API 2.0, Location-Based Information Systems: Developing Real-Time Tracking Applications provides information and examples for creating real-time LBIS based on GPS-enabled cellular phones. Each chapter presents a general real-time tracking system example that can be easily adapted to target any application domain and that can incorporate other sensor data to make the system "participatory sensing" or "human-centric sensing."





The book covers all of the components needed to develop an LBIS. It discusses cellular phone programming using the Java ME platform, positioning technologies, databases and spatial databases, communications, client- and server-side data processing, and real-time data visualization via Google Maps and Google Earth. Using freely available software, the authors include many code examples and detailed instructions for building your own system and setting up your entire development environment.



Web Resource
A companion website at www.csee.usf.edu/ labrador/LBIS provides additional information and supporting material. It contains all of the software packages and applications used in the text as well as PowerPoint slides and laboratory examples.





Although LBIS applications are still in the beginning stages, they have the potential to transform our daily lives, from warning us about possible health problems to monitoring pollution levels around us. Exploring this novel technology, Location-Based Information Systems describes the technical components needed to create location-based services with an emphasis on nonproprietary, freely available solutions that work across different technologies and platforms.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

根據作者在位置基礎資訊系統(LBIS)方面超過六年的研發經驗,以及他們參與定義 Java ME Location API 2.0 的過程,位置基礎資訊系統:開發即時追蹤應用程式 提供了基於 GPS 啟用的行動電話創建即時 LBIS 的資訊和範例。每一章節都呈現了一個通用的即時追蹤系統範例,該範例可以輕鬆調整以針對任何應用領域,並且可以整合其他感測器數據,使系統具備「參與式感測」或「以人為中心的感測」功能。

本書涵蓋了開發 LBIS 所需的所有組件。它討論了使用 Java ME 平台的行動電話程式設計、定位技術、資料庫和空間資料庫、通訊、客戶端和伺服器端數據處理,以及通過 Google Maps 和 Google Earth 的即時數據可視化。作者使用免費的軟體,包含許多程式碼範例和詳細的指導,幫助讀者建立自己的系統並設置整個開發環境。

網路資源
一個伴隨網站 www.csee.usf.edu/labrador/LBIS 提供了額外的資訊和支援材料。該網站包含了文本中使用的所有軟體包和應用程式,以及 PowerPoint 簡報和實驗範例。

儘管 LBIS 應用程式仍處於初期階段,但它們有潛力改變我們的日常生活,從警告我們可能的健康問題到監測周圍的污染水平。探索這項新技術,位置基礎資訊系統 描述了創建位置基礎服務所需的技術組件,強調非專有的、免費可用的解決方案,這些解決方案可以跨不同技術和平台運作。
