In this paper, we present a novel Multi-objective Indoor Localization Service (MILoS) that provides a fine-grained, energy-efficient indoor localization using only a subset of WiFi-based localization data on the client-side, maintaining user's privacy at the same time. MILoS follows a fingerprinting-based indoor localization model that concurrently optimizes several conflicting objectives (i.e., minimizes the smartphone's energy consumption and maximizes the area coverage induced by WiFi fingerprints importance), using a Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithm based on Decomposition (MOEA/D). To the best of our knowledge this is the first time that the WiFi fingerprinting approach is used in a Multi-Objective Optimization setting for indoor localization. We assess our proposed model using real datasets and realistic mobility scenarios.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 34th ACM/SIGAPP Symposium on Applied Computing}, pages = {1174–1181}, numpages = {8}, keywords = {evolutionary, indoor navigation, smartphones, fingerprint-based localization, multi-objective optimization}, location = {Limassol, Cyprus}, series = {SAC '19} }
