Localization as a network service
| Resumo: | Within the scope of this dissertation’s work, titled “Localization as a Network Service”, the specification of a novel Global Localization Service based on the Domain Name System (DNS) is proposed. This service is capable of interacting with different Localization Servers, and is capable of providing location information to Location Based Services with minimal additional geographical error. Initially, a set of popular Internet services is selected, and each one exposed. Followed by a comparative study, where important aspects to a Global Localization Service are evaluated regarding each service. This culminates in the selection of the Domain Name System (DNS). With the DNS as the selected service, considerations are made regarding the storing and organization of data, the integration with Localization Servers, and security concerns. A prototype is built and deployed. Finally, using the created testbed, the Global Localization Service proposal is tested in two distinct scenarios. Its results are evaluated, and conclusions regarding the performance of the system are made. |
