Towards a Spatial Position Information Management System for Interactive Building Environments

Abstract. Indoor localisation systems enable a variety of assistance ser-vices in commercial buildings and home environments. Applications in this area cover guidance, asset tracking, behaviour monitoring for smart assistance and alert systems, intelligent remote control, to name a few of them. It is desirable to employ a position information management system which collects, manages, offers and distributes such information. This paper focuses on how to design such a middleware which gathers position information from one or more localisation systems and provides this data to interested and authorised applications.
