Towards a Scalable Dynamic Spatial Database System

With the rise of GPS-enabled smartphones and other similar mobile devices, massive amounts of location data are available. However, no scalable solutions for soft real-time spatial queries on large sets of moving objects have yet emerged. In this paper we explore and measure the limits of actual algorithms and implementations regarding different application scenarios. And finally we propose a novel distributed architecture to solve the scalability issues.Comment: (2012

Ubiquitous RFID network for highway monitoring and management

A simplified approach for the implementation of ubiquitous RFID networks in a Highway Management System is presented. The technique aims at deploying tagging identification in transport statistical analysis. The RFID network architecture has been designed as part of an existing system to make it more cost effective with a higher reliability. The usefulness and the merits of this easy access and user friendly approach are identified and discussed
