Group nearest neighbor (GNN) queries are a relatively new type of operations in spatial database applications. Different from a traditional kNN query which specifies a single quer...
In this paper, we study a novel form of continuous nearest neighbor queries in the presence of obstacles, namely continuous obstructed nearest neighbor (CONN) search. It considers...
Recording the location of people using location-acquisition technologies, such as GPS, allows generating life patterns, which associate people to places they frequently visit. Con...
The representation of moving objects in spatial database systems has become an important research topic in recent years. As it is not realistic to track and store the location of ...
We study the recurrence dynamics of queries in Web search by analysing a large real-world query log dataset. We find that query frequency is more useful in predicting collective ...
