Geographical and Fingerprinting Data for Positioning and Navigation Systems: Challenges, Experiences and Technology Roadmap explores the state-of-the -art software tools and innovative strategies to provide better understanding of positioning and navigation in indoor environments using fingerprinting techniques. The book provides the different problems and challenges of indoor positioning and navigation services and shows how fingerprinting can be used to address such necessities. This advanced publication provides the useful references educational institutions, industry, academic researchers, professionals, developers and practitioners need to apply, evaluate and reproduce this book’s contributions.
The readers will learn how to apply the necessary infrastructure to provide fingerprinting services and scalable environments to deal with fingerprint data.
- Provides the current state of fingerprinting for indoor positioning and navigation, along with its challenges and achievements
- Presents solutions for using WIFI signals to position and navigate in indoor environments
- Covers solutions for using the magnetic field to position and navigate in indoor environments
- Contains solutions of a modular positioning system as a solution for seamless positioning
- Analyzes geographical and fingerprint data in order to provide indoor/outdoor location and navigation systems

Jordi Conesa
Jordi Conesa is an associate professor of computer science at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. He received his PhD in software engineering from the Technical University of Catalonia, after a research stay in Georgia State University of Atlanta (US). His research interest concerns the areas of conceptual modelling, ontologies, semantic web, knowledge-based systems, and e-learning. His long-term goal is to develop methodologies and tools to use ontologies effectively in several application domains, such as conceptual modelling, software engineering, and e-learning. He has authored more than 60 research papers, has participated in several research projects, including EU-FP7, CICYT and AVANZA funded projects, and has contributed in the organization of international conferences and has been program chair and program committee member of several international conferences. Finally, he also serves as external reviewer for many conferences and journals.

Antoni Pérez-Navarro
Dr. Antoni Pérez-Navarro has a PhD in Physics from the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona and Is graduated in Physics from the same university. His research domain is mainly focused in location bases systems (LBS) and context aware recommendation systems, outdoors as well as indoors, and its applications mainly to health and tourism. He has worked as physics and geographic information systems lecturer at several institutions: Universitat Oberta de Catalunya UOC, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Escola Universitària Salesiana de Sarrià and Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya. He has also 5 years of experience as project manager in a GIS company, Aurensis, S.L. His main research interests are indoor positioning and prevention of deseases via smartphones. He has lead the project Itiner@ where a Context Aware Recommender System was created. Regarding education, his main contributions are mathematical notation in physics and mathematics in online environments; and the introduction of video as a learning tool in the virtual classroom, which received the Best Innovation Project Award at UOC in 2010 with the project Present@. He has published over 12 articles in journals indexed in ISI-JCR and has supervided over 14 MSc theses already completed. Nowadays he is supervising three PhD Thesis
