Abstract: | We provide evidence of the feasibility and effectiveness of a middleware architecture for mobile devices (MoDs), which employs
dense distributions of small computerized entities for providing fault-tolerant location-aware services. We do so by describing
exemplary implementations based on radio frequency identification as an enabling technology. Firstly, we present prototypical
implementations of the hardware abstraction layer and of selected core middleware services. The latter enable a MoD to store
and retrieve data and position information in physical places in a fault-tolerant manner, and to identify places based on
a location abstraction which is robust against failure of individual tags. Secondly, we investigate the feasibility of some
higher-level services and applications by developing and evaluating prototypical systems for tracing and tracking, self-positioning,
and collaborative map-making.
