Abstract

Advanced location-aware applications require a detailed model of the real world. The goal of the Nexus platform is to provide such a model together with generic functionality to a wide variety of location-aware applications. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of this Augmented World Model and the architecture of the Nexus platform. We look in more detail at the two main components responsible for the main aspects of the world model, namely the spatial data and the position information of mobile objects.
