Collaborative Spatial Data Sharing Among Mobile Lightweight Devices
Zhiyong Huang; Christian S. Jensen; Hua Lu; Beng Chin Ooi
Mobile devices are increasingly being equipped with wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) networking interfaces, rendering the sharing of data among mobile devices feasible and beneficial. In comparison to the traditional client/server wireless channel, the P2P channels have considerably higher bandwidth. Motivated by these observations, we propose a collaborative spatial data sharing scheme that exploits the P2P capabilities of mobile devices. Using carefully maintained routing tables, this scheme enables mobile devices not only to use their local storage for query processing, but also to collaborate with nearby mobile peers to exploit their data. This scheme is capable of reducing the cost of the communication between mobile clients and the server as well as the query response time. The paper details the design of the data sharing scheme, including its routing table maintenance, query processing and update handling. An analytical cost model sensitive to user mobility is proposed to guide the storage content replacement and routing table maintenance. The results of extensive simulation studies based on an implementation of the scheme demonstrate that the scheme is efficient in processing location dependent queries and is robust to data updates.

A Study for the Parameters of a Distributed Framework That Handles Spatial Areas
Verena Kantere; Timos Sellis
In this work we study the construction of a framework for autonomous sites that are bound to spatial information and that form an overlay network; we investigate the parameters of such a distributed system in order to perform search guided by locality and directionality in space. We present the main parameters of the framework and propose appropriate values for them. A theoretical study discusses the overall search efficiency limits for two approaches concerning the main framework parameter, i.e. the distance metric. Furthermore, the behavior of the rest of the framework parameters is examined based on an experimental study.

Distributed, Concurrent Range Monitoring of Spatial-Network Constrained Mobile Objects
Hua Lu; Zhiyong Huang; Christian S. Jensen; Linhao Xu
The ability to continuously monitor the positions of mobile objects is important in many applications. While most past work has been set in Euclidean spaces, the mobile objects relevant in many applications are constrained to spatial networks. This paper addresses the problem of range monitoring of mobile objects in this setting, in which network distance is concerned. An architecture is proposed where the mobile clients and a central server share computation, the objective being to obtain scalability by utilizing the capabilities of the clients. The clients issue location reports to the server, which is in charge of data storing and query processing. The server associates each range monitoring query with the network-edge portions it covers. This enables incremental maintenance of each query, and it also enables shared maintenance of concurrent queries by identifying the overlaps among such queries. The mobile clients contribute to the query processing by encapsulating their host edge portion identifiers in their reports to the server. Extensive empirical studies indicate that the paper’s proposal is efficient and scalable, in terms of both query load and moving-object load.

Compression of Digital Road Networks
Jonghyun Suh; Sungwon Jung; Martin Pfeifle; Khoa T. Vo; Marcus Oswald; Gerhard Reinelt
In the consumer market, there has been an increasing interest in portable navigation systems in the last few years. These systems usually work on digital map databases stored on SD cards. As the price for these SD cards heavily depends on their capacity and as digital map databases are rather space-consuming, relatively high hardware costs go along with digital map databases covering large areas like Europe or the USA. In this paper, we propose new techniques for the compact storage of the most important part of these databases, , the road network data. Our solution applies appropriate techniques from combinatorial optimization, , adapted solutions for the minimum bandwidth problem, and from data mining, , clustering based on suitable distance measures. In a detailed experimental evaluation based on real-world data, we demonstrate the characteristics and benefits of our new approaches.

Traffic Density-Based Discovery of Hot Routes in Road Networks
Xiaolei Li; Jiawei Han; Jae-Gil Lee; Hector Gonzalez
Finding hot routes (traffic flow patterns) in a road network is an important problem. They are beneficial to city planners, police departments, real estate developers, and many others. Knowing the hot routes allows the city to better direct traffic or analyze congestion causes. In the past, this problem has largely been addressed with domain knowledge of city. But in recent years, detailed information about vehicles in the road network have become available. With the development and adoption of RFID and other location sensors, an enormous amount of moving object trajectories are being collected and can be used towards finding hot routes.
This is a challenging problem due to the complex nature of the data. If objects traveled in organized clusters, it would be straightforward to use a clustering algorithm to find the hot routes. But, in the real world, objects move in unpredictable ways. Variations in speed, time, route, and other factors cause them to travel in rather fleeting “clusters.” These properties make the problem difficult for a naive approach. To this end, we propose a new density-based algorithm named FlowScan. Instead of clustering the moving objects, road segments are clustered based on the density of common traffic they share. We implemented FlowScan and tested it under various conditions. Our experiments show that the system is both efficient and effective at discovering hot routes.

Spatio-temporal Network Databases and Routing Algorithms: A Summary of Results
Betsy George; Sangho Kim; Shashi Shekhar
Spatio-temporal networks are spatial networks whose topology and parameters change with time. These networks are important due to many critical applications such as emergency traffic planning and route finding services and there is an immediate need for models that support the design of efficient algorithms for computing the frequent queries on such networks. This problem is challenging due to potentially conflicting requirements of model simplicity and support for efficient algorithms. Time expanded networks which have been used to model dynamic networks employ replication of the network across time instants, resulting in high storage overhead and algorithms that are computationally expensive. In contrast, proposed time-aggregated graphs do not replicate nodes and edges across time; rather they allow the properties of edges and nodes to be modeled as a time series. Since the model does not replicate the entire graph for every instant of time, it uses less memory and the algorithms for common operations (e.g. connectivity, shortest path) are computationally more efficient than those for time expanded networks. One important query on spatio-temporal networks is the computation of shortest paths. Shortest paths can be computed either for a given start time or to find the start time and the path that leads to least travel time journeys (best start time journeys). Developing efficient algorithms for computing shortest paths in a time varying spatial network is challenging because these journeys do not always display greedy property or optimal substructure, making techniques like dynamic programming inapplicable. In this paper, we propose algorithms for shortest path computations in both contexts. We present the analytical cost models for the algorithms and provide an experimental comparison of performance with existing algorithms.
