Abstract :
One challenge in the context-aware environment is to detect users´ presence in a natural way and to process such information in order to provide suitable services for users. This paper introduces PlaceSense, an application using Bluetooth technology, building on top of the place-based virtual community architecture that can detect users presence for triggering services automatically. The paper also discusses the different use-cases of Bluetooth technology for community sensing.
