Wireless symbolic positioning using support vector machines

This paper introduces a novel symbolic positioning system based on wireless access points and Support Vector Machines. The system works both indoors and outdoors and is cost-effective since it can even work with widely deployed 802.11 access points as infrastructure. The system requires minimal setup time, which makes it readily available for real-world applications.
