Several window constructs are usually specified in continuous queries over data streams as a means of limiting the amount of data processed each time and thus providing real-time...
Spatial generalization has been recently proposed as a technique for the anonymization of requests in location based services. This paper presents the results of an extensive expe...
Data consistency protocols are vital ingredients of mobile data management systems. Notable research efforts have been spent to find adequate consistency models for allowing mobi...
—In many existing location-based services, a service provider becomes aware of the location of its customers and can, maybe inadvertently, leak this information to unauthorized e...
In traditional fixed-wired networks, standard protocols like 2-Phase-Commit are used to guarantee atomicity for distributed transactions. However, within mobile networks, a highe...
Abstract—In this paper we present MicroPulse, a novel framework for adapting the waking window of a sensing device S based on the data workload incurred by a query Q. Assuming a ...
This work tackles the problem of answer-aggregation for continuous spatio-temporal range queries in distributed settings. We assume a grid-like coverage of the spatial universe of...

Abstract—Dummy-based anonymization techniques for protecting location privacy of mobile users have been proposed in the literature. By generating dummies that move in humanlike t...
The engineering community has recently begun to adopt wireless sensing technologies for use in many sensing applications. These low-cost sensors provide an optimal setting for den...
