Summary:
As Wireless appliances become more common place we are beginning to experience multiple problems. We are experiencing interoperability problems related to devices' capabilities in relation to applications, along with network/application services limitations for understanding the diversity among these devices. In this thesis the issues related to Location Discovery, Location Management and Device capabilities are discussed. Solutions based on current technologies, including Triangulation and GPS, are discussed for Location Management along with the concepts of Location Tracking and Location Modeling for increasing the effectiveness of Location Management technologies. Finally an XML based Language is presented which affords generality for User to Network and Network to User communication for the many wireless devices.
