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)

《基於位置的資訊系統:開發即時追蹤應用程式》利用作者們在基於位置的資訊系統(LBIS)研發超過六年的經驗,以及他們參與定義Java ME Location API 2.0的經歷,提供了基於GPS智慧手機的即時LBIS創建資訊和範例。每一章節都呈現了一個通用的即時追蹤系統範例,可以輕鬆地適應任何應用領域,並且可以整合其他感測器數據,使系統成為「參與式感測」或「以人為中心的感測」。

本書涵蓋了開發LBIS所需的所有組件。它討論了使用Java ME平台進行手機程式設計、定位技術、資料庫和空間資料庫、通訊、客戶端和服務器端數據處理,以及通過Google Maps和Google Earth進行即時數據可視化。作者使用免費軟體,提供了許多程式碼範例和詳細的建置指南,讓讀者能夠建立自己的系統並設置整個開發環境。

《基於位置的資訊系統》還提供了一個附帶網站,網址為www.csee.usf.edu/~labrador/LBIS,提供了額外的資訊和支援材料。該網站包含了書中使用的所有軟體套件和應用程式,以及PowerPoint投影片和實驗室範例。

儘管LBIS應用程式仍處於初級階段,但它們有潛力改變我們的日常生活,從警告可能的健康問題到監測我們周圍的污染水平。《基於位置的資訊系統》探索了這項新穎技術,描述了創建基於位置的服務所需的技術組件,並強調使用非專有、免費的解決方案,可以跨不同技術和平台運作。
