ROVER TECHNOLOGY
ENABLING SCALABLE LOCATION
AWARE COMPUTING
ROVER TECHNOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
The technology which enables the
scalable location-aware computing. This
involves automatic availability of
information and services based on a
current location of the user. The user
make avail location-aware computing
through his PDA (Personal Digital
Assistance).

Server consists of:-
Rover Controller
Location Server
Media Streaming Unit
Rover Database
Logger
ACTION MODEL
Rover controller is built according to a
concurrent software architecture which is
called the action model.
Scheduling is done in atomic units called
actions.
An action is a small piece of code
All actions are executed in a controlled
manner by the Action Controller
The action is executed whenever an I/O
response is received.
SERVER OPERATION
The transaction is called SERVER
OPERATION when a client interacts with
the Rover controller.
A SERVER OPERATION IS A
SEQUENCE OF ACTIONS.
SERVER OPERATION
A Server operation is in one of the
following three states. They are:-
Ready-to-run: At least one action is
eligible to be executed but no action is
executing.
Running: One action is executing
Blocked: Server operation is waiting for
some I/O response
Logical Architecture of A Rover
System
ROVER CONTROLER
Rover controller interacts with other
components of the system through the
following interfaces:-
Location Interface
Admin Interface
Content Interface
Back-end Interface
Server Assistants Interface
Transport Interface
ROVER DATABASE
The database in a Rover consists of
two components:-
User Infobase and
Content Infobase
PERSONAL DIGITAL ASSISTANT
A Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is a
HAND HELD COMPUTER, also known as a
palmtop computer.
Newer PDAs commonly have color screens
and audio capabilities, to be used as MOBILE
PHONES (smart phones), web browsers, or
portable media players.
Many PDAs can access the Internet, Intranet
or extranet via Wi-Fi, or Wireless Wide Area
Networks (WWANs). Many PDAs employ
Touch Screen technology.
MULTI-ROVER SYSTEM
The multi-rover system is a collection
of independent rover systems that peer
with each other to provide the seamless
connectivity to the users.
The design of a multi-rover system is
similar to the Mobile IP solution to
provide network mobility to devices.
BASIC FUNCTIONALITY OF THE
ROVER SYSTEM
User activation/deactivation
Device registration /deregistration
Periodic broadcast of events from the
rover controller
Interaction between users by text
messaging/voice chat
Display of the Rover Client
iPAQ Rover Client
CONCLUSION
Rover is currently available as
adeployable system using specific
technologies, both indoors and outdoors.
The ultimate aim of this scenario is to
provide a completely integrated system
that operates under different
technologies.
Future Works
The short and long term projects of this
paradigm:-
Experiment with limited capability devices
Location aware Streaming Devices
Interact with cellular providers and
implement this mechanisms on cellular
interface.
