Assignment title: Information
Hi, I am working on the indoor positioning system, and I have proposed a new algorithm that can
be used in the harsh area. I have published one article, and now I want to write my Ph.D. thesis,
and I want to include this article in this thesis. My supervisor gave me some notes about the
thesis and how it should be. What I need from you is to suggest a structure for the thesis " table
of content " which fulfill my supervisor's suggestions. I have attached the article and my
supervisor's suggestions. After the approval of my supervisor on the suggested structure " table
of content." I can start writing the entire thesis.
Supervisor's suggestions:
I think the review is ok. But it is not far enough for a PhD thesis. In your review and article, you
haven't discussed and given any positioning model, algorithm and system. You should think
about the following questions.
1) What is requirements of location-based service (LBS ) in smart factory? You should
give several application scenarios. For example, positioning of vehicles, persons,
WIPs, ... And how this location information can be used to schedule the production,
arrange the material distribution, etc.
2) What is the IT framework of LBS? LBS is not an isolated system. It is part of the
enterprise information system in smart factory. It belongs to one type of IoT (Internet of
Things). So what is the relationship between LBS and other information system such as
MES (Manufacturing execution system )?
3) What is the key technologies of LBS? And what is your research achievements about
these technologies? Model? Algorithm? It should be noted that 2-3 technical innovations
are necessary for a Phd thesis. For example, improving the algorithm, designing a new
system…
4) What is the system implementation and practice of your LBS system? For example,
how to use it in smart factory? Case study .
