Hixosfs for Ubiquitous Commerce through Bluetooth

Abstract

Hixosfs is a Linux filesystem designed to easily cataloging and retriving files according final user selected metadata. The idea is the use of bluetooth technology to create an ad-hoc indoor network managed by hixosfs. The system has been implemented using embedded systems linked to each other using bluetooth connection or an ad-hoc wireless network. In each of these, a hixosfs filesystem based database has been used to improve the performance.
