Overview

OntoNav is a user-centered indoor navigation system developed by the Pervasive Computing Research Group (p-comp) at University of Athens. The innovation of the solution is the exploitation of Semantic Web technologies during the path selection process. The system is mainly targeted at disabled people, elderly people and people with limited cognitive capabilities.

The core development team is:

Vassileios Tsetsos, Ph.D. student

Christos Anagnostopoulos, Ph.D. student

Panayotis Kikiras, Ph.D.

Tilemahos Hasiotis, Ph.D. student

Vassilis Papataxiarhis, M.Sc. student

Kostas Kolomvatsos, Ph.D. student

Stathes P. Hadjiefthymiades, Assistant Professor
