    The technology revolution has lead globalization. Because of globalization, there is an advantage of being small like Gaza as it is easier to get organized. The foreign direct investment is crucial to the development of Gaza. It includes technology, markets, scarce management skills, scarce engineering skills: thing cannot be bought. In order to attract foreign direct investment to the offshore island, the selling proposition needs to be indentified

    In recent years, location-based services have become increasingly important for our daily lives. To estimate a user’s position, these days mainly the Global Positioning System (GPS) is used. In situations where GPS in unavailable, location fingerprinting with the help of IEEE 802.11 has proven as a viable alternative. However, the latter still suffers from some problems that impede a widespread use. These problems firstly are identified in this thesis, and secondly solutions to the different issues are introduced and evaluated. The covered topics contain means to improve the positioning accuracy of location fingerprinting with IEEE 802.11, algorithms to greatly decrease the effort that is necessary to set up a fingerprint database, and ways to estimate the error that has to be expected when estimating a position with IEEE 802.11 and location fingerprinting. Furthermore, the thesis covers problems that occur when estimating the position of a mobile user with IEEE 802.11 and location fingerprinting. Finally, an overview of application scenarios for the given algorithms is presented and a conclusion is given
