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...
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 concern in current location-based services where users have to continuously report their locations to the database server in order to obtain the ...
Existing location-based services provide specialized services to their customers based on the knowledge of their exact locations. With untrustworthy servers, location-based service...
This paper presents a novel algorithm for Incremental and General Evaluation of continuous Reverse Nearest neighbor queries (IGERN, for short). The IGERN algorithm is general as it...

This paper presents the Scalable On-Line Execution algorithm (SOLE, for short) for continuous and on-line evaluation of concurrent continuous spatio- temporal queries over data str...
The wide spread use of cellular phones, handheld devices, and GPS-like technology enables location-aware environments where virtually all objects are aware of their locations. Loca...
