This tutorial gets you started with IBM Enterprise LAS middleware. Learn the concepts behind the middleware and write a simple location-tracking Web application with the help of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) technologies. With these best practices in mind, you'll be on your way to building faster location-tracking systems that can easily integrate with positioning/sensoring technologies, such as RFID and Zigbee.

In this tutorial

  • Introduction to Location Aware Services

  • Case Study: CDL Intelligent Office Web application

  • Setting up your LAS environment

  • Write an adapter to connect your back-end RFID sensor with IBM LAS middleware

  • More on IBM Enterprise LAS Middleware

Prerequisites

This tutorial is for developers with basic Java™ Web programming skills who are interested in learning the concepts of indoor location-aware services or are currently involved in building such an application.


System requirements

To run the examples in this tutorial, you will need a machine with IBM Rational® Application Developer 6.0 installed. We recommend that you upgrade your Rational Application Developer to v.6.0.1.
