provides an accessible overview of fundamental methods and technologies. This makes it an ideal starting point for researchers, students, and professionals in pervasive computing. Location-based services are services using the location of a mobile computing device as their primary input. While such services are fairly easy to implement outside buildings thanks to accessible global positioning systems and high-quality environmental information, the situation inside buildings is fundamentally different. In general, there is no simple way of determining the position of a moving target inside a building without an additional dedicated infrastructure. The book’s structure is learning oriented, starting with a short introduction to wireless communication systems and basic positioning techniques and ending with advanced features like event detection, simultaneous localization and mapping, and privacy aspects. Readers who are not familiar with the individual topics will be able to work through the book from start to finish. At the same time all chapters are self-contained to support readers who are already familiar with some of the content and only want to pick selected topics that are of particular interest. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
“This collection – bringing together up-to-the-minute, detailed, grounded and nuanced studies of digital sexual cultures and experiences – is a major contribution to several fields, including gender, sexuality, young people and young adulthood, and human-technology relations, both in South Africa and more globally.” —Jeff Hearn, Professor, Hanken School of Economics, Finland; co-author of Digital Gender-Sexual Violations and Knowledge, Power and Young Sexualities This volume focuses on the role of gender in young peoples’ digital sexual cultures in South Africa. Offering a snapshot of their lives as they navigate the online world, this book explores young people’s heterosexual desires, and the materialisation of gender inequalities. The chapters in the book take heed of human and more-than-human elements and understand the connection between devices, technologies, images, sexting, filters, pornography, sexuality and violence as affective flows with potential for new becomings and new constraints. Chapters also detail how these experiences are woven with global and local norms regarding heterosexuality, masculinity, and femininity, shaping young peoples’ web surfing experiences: amid pleasure and peril. Deevia Bhana is the South African Research Chair in Gender and Childhood Sexuality at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. . |
