Demonstrating FLAVOUR: Friendly Location-aware conference Assistant with priVacy Observant architect

In this paper, we describe an implementation of FLAVOUR (Friendly Location-aware conference Assistant with priVacy Observant architectURe), in which people/infrastructure resources act as individual service providers offering their location as a service. By subscribing to this service, in the one hand, conference participants can be aware of each others whereabouts as well as being able to chat. On the other hand, conference organizers can notify interested attendants about special events such as cancellation of a track or change in the presentation rooms. The presented architecture uses existing WLAN infrastructure for cost efficiency, and uniquely incorporates the location information as a service into Jini service discovery platform. Location itself is determined with high accuracy by using a calibration free technique
