The k-anonymity privacy requirement for publishing microdata requires that each equivalence class (i.e., a set of records that are indistinguishable from each other with respect to...
This paper presents a framework for building and continuously maintaining spatio-temporal histograms (ST-Histograms, for short). ST-Histograms are used for selectivity estimation o...

Location-aware environments are characterized by a large number of objects and a large number of continuous queries. Both the objects and continuous queries may change their locati...
The wide spread of location-based services results in a strong market for location-detection devices (e.g., GPS-like devices, RFIDs, handheld devices, and cellular phones). Example...
Indexing moving objects is a fundamental issue in spatiotemporal databases. In this paper, we propose an adaptive Lazy-Update Grid-based index (LUGrid, for short) that minimizes th...
This paper tackles a major privacy threat in current location-based services where users have to report their exact locations to the database server in order to obtain their desire...
