Web search is ubiquitous in our daily lives. Caching has been extensively used to reduce
the computation time of the search engine and reduce the network traffic beyond a proxy …

Shortest path queries have been widely used in location-based services (LBSs). To
calculate the shortest path from an origin to a destination, an LBS provider usually needs to …

Caching has been an important technique for saving network traffic and reducing response
time, especially in mobile environments where bandwidth is often a scarce resource. In this …

We propose a novel collaborative caching framework to support spatial query processing in
Mobile Peer-to-Peer Networks (MP2PNs). To maximize cache sharing among clients, each …

The results of location-dependent queries (LDQ) queries generally depend on the current
locations of query issuers. Many mechanisms, eg broadcast scheme, hoarding, or caching …

Mobile location-dependent information services (LDISs) have become increasingly popular
in recent years. However, data caching strategies for LDISs have thus far received little …

Shortest path query is one of the most fundamental queries in spatial network databases.
There exist algorithms that can process shortest path queries in real time. However, many …

In step with the web being used widely by mobile users, user location is becoming an
essential signal in services, including local intent search. Given a large set of spatial web …

The embedding of positioning capabilities in mobile devices and the emergence of location-
based applications have created novel opportunities for utilizing several types of …

Owing to the wide availability of the global positioning system (GPS) and digital mapping of
roads, road network navigation services have become a basic application on many mobile …
