Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of finding k nearest neighbors for moving query point (we call it k-NNMP). It is an important issue in both mobile computing research an...
Abstract-- Recent work has demonstrated that readings provided by commodity sensor nodes are often of poor quality. In order to provide a valuable sensory infrastructure for monito...
In this paper, we study the evaluation of skyline queries with partially-ordered attributes. Because such attributes lack a total ordering, traditional index-based evaluation algo...
