Abstract : A positioning middleware benefits the development of
location aware applications. Traditionally, positioning middleware
provides position transparency in the sense that it hides low-level
details. However, many applications require access to specific details
of the usually hidden positioning process. To address this problem this
paper proposes a positioning middleware named PerPos that is translucent
and adaptable, i.e., it supports both high- and low-level interaction.
The PerPos middleware provides translucency with respect to the
positioning process and allows programmatic definition of application
specific features that can be applied to the internal position
processing of the middleware. To evaluate these capabilities we extend
the internal position processing of the middleware with functionality
supporting probabilistic position tracking and strategies for
minimization of the energy consumption. The result of the evaluation is
that using only the proposed capabilities we can, in a structured
manner, extend the internal positioning processing.
