A toolkit for localisation queries

While UbiComp research has steadily improved the performance of localisation systems, the analysis of such datasets remains largely unaddressed. In this paper, we present a tool to facilitate querying and analysis of localisation time-series with a focus on semantic localisation. Drawing on well-established models to represent movement and mobility, we first develop a query language for localisation datasets. We then develop a software library in R that implements this querying. We use case studies to demonstrate how our programming tool can be used to query localisation datasets. Our work addresses an important gap in localisation research, by providing a flexible tool that can model and analyse localisation data programmatically and in real time.
