Location Query Based on Moving Behaviors
[[abstract]]The importance of location prediction is rapidly increasing with the current trend of database applications in mobile
computing environment. However, current personal communication services network could only provide currently
maintained location information of non-idle mobile terminals. Pertinent researches predict the future location based on
tangent velocity approaches, which require mobile terminals to spend lots of precious electronic power to sense and then
measure a sequence of positions for predicting the future tangent velocity, and the prediction is effective only within a short
range of time. In this study, we propose an approach to predict future locations of mobile terminals based on the moving
behaviors mined from their long-term moving history. Location prediction based on moving behavior requires no power
consumption for position measurement, and the prediction results are effective for a long time without requiring the
queried clients to be non-idle. With the help of moving behavior, we propose several location prediction operators for
location query. Finally, we demonstrate the accuracy of the location query operators through simulation statistics. The
experimental results show that the predictions are accurate enough for regular moving mobile terminals.

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
