Over the last 15 years, several human-centric approaches to indoor localization have been proposed by both academia and industry, but we have yet to see large scale deployments.

All location techniques, such as ranging, fingerprinting, infrastructure, or device free, are welcome, except those that require end users\u2019 manual measurements. Contesters can deploy their own infrastructure of up to 10 devices. Normal RF interference is expected, but no jammers for other deployments are allowed. The results must be shown on a portable device, such as a phone or a tablet\/laptop that a person can easily carry around.\r\n\r\nDemo submissions that do not meet one or more of the guidelines above will be included in the poster session and will be evaluated as a regular submission, but they will not be considered for prizes.\r\n\r\nThe competition will take place if at least 5 teams respond to this preliminary call for competition.\r\n\r\n[\/panel]\r\n\r\n[panel header=\"Competition Categories\"]\r\n\r\nDepending on the nature and number of submissions multiple categories might be defined based on the accuracy (i.e., point-based vs. area based), the size, the cost, or the type (i.e., software vs. hardware) of the proposed solution. The final set of categories will be announced after the registration deadline.\r\n\r\n[\/panel]\r\n\r\n[panel header=\"Poster Session\"]\r\n\r\nA poster session dedicated to all competition participants will be organized during the conference.

The winning team in each category will be invited to present their approach at the conference, and receive a cash award.\r\n\r\n[\/panel]\r\n\r\n[panel header=\"Submission Guidelines\"]\r\n\r\nContesters must submit an abstract describing their approach and deployment requirements by the contest registration deadline.
