With the rapid progress of location based services, GIS, and ubiquitous computing technologies, the space that we are dealing with is no longer limited to outdoor space but being extended to indoor space. Indoor spaces has some differences from outdoor space, therefore to provide integrated spaces and seamless services, it is required to establish new theories, data models, and systems. For this reason, research has begun to extend the scope of LBS and GIS to indoor space for the applications such as indoor navigation services, indoor LBS and indoor GIS. This workshop is therefore intended to bring together researchers, developers, and practitioners carrying out research and development related to the topic of indoor spatial awareness and to provide a forum for interdisciplinary discussions in all aspects of indoor spatial awareness.
The topics of workshop include (but not limited) the following topics;
- indoor spatial data models,
- handling moving objects in indoor space,
- tracking and navigation in indoor space,
- indexing and query processing of indoor spatial databases,
- construction of indoor spatial databases,
- context-awareness in indoor space,
- indoor space analysis,
- ontology for indoor space,
- interoperability and standards, and
- applicationsand services for indoor space.
