N2 - The notion of modeling location is fundamental to location
awareness in ubiquitous computing environments. The
investigation of models and the integration with the myriad
of location sensing technologies makes for a challenging
discipline. Despite notable development of location
models, we believe that many challenges remain
unresolved. Complexity and scalability, diverse
environments coupled with various sensors and managing
the privacy and security of sensitive information are open
issues. In this paper we discuss our previous experience
combining location sensing with mobile agents and how the
lessons learnt have lead to the conception of
SpaceSemantics, an open architecture for modeling
environments.
