13. discussion & future works
• AmI environments make use of several heterogeneous
technologies (e.g., RFID, bi-dimensional codes, etc.) that can
be seamless processed to enhance already deployed location
systems
– cheap and feasible approach
– hit rate 71.21% ~ 88%
• consider more types of sensors (e.g., RFID, pressure mats, etc.),
empirically obtaining its probabilistic models
• perform more tests with different sensor’s placements
(analysing the enhancement introduced by each kind of sensor)
• real implementation
– design supporting infrastructure
– mobile deployment?
