Managing uncertainty in location based applications

2005 2nd Asia Pacific Conference on Mobile Technology, Applications and Systems, 2005
In previous work we introduced the idea of user modeling as a means of reducing uncertainty in location tracking of human-controlled moving objects. We used the name roving users (RU for short) to refer to this subset of moving objects. In this paper we discuss the issue of reducing the complexity of the user model caused by variables with high number ...
