Abstract
The location-aware computing is now prevalent and the widespread deployment of sensing technologies will make location-aware applications part of everyday life. Location-aware applications are very various and primarily categorized into several fields including thing-finder, tour and museum guides, event planner, buddy tracking and conference aids for people’s social network, and medicine or emergency purposes. In this thesis, we focus on the location-aware applications in tour and museum guides. When visitors come to a place like a large museum or an amusement park, the annoying problem they usually confront is how to know which way to go and when to go, so that they do not have to waste time in waiting or going to the wrong way.
Based on the locations where the customers are, we design the scenario of the guide system and purpose a distributed scheduling algorithm which tells the customers the destinations to go and solves the problem stated above. Our algorithm takes queueing theory and location parameter into consideration, and we evaluate its performance via simulations. The results show that our algorithm performs well and efficiently in the location-aware environment and indeed reduces the waiting for the customers.
