ABSTRACT
Globe is a wide-area distributed system that supports mobile objects. To track and locate objects, we use a worldwide distributed location service, implemented as a search tree.An object registers its current position by storing its address in a nearby leaf node of the tree. This knowledge propagates up to the top of the tree, so every object can be found from the root. Remote objects can cache the location of an object. However, if the object moves, the cache entry is no longer valid.In this paper, we show how caching can be made to work effectively even in the presence of mobile objects.

Winner-imposing strategyproof mechanisms for multiple facility location games
WINE'10: Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Internet and network economicsWe study Facility Location games, where a number of facilities are placed in a metric space based on locations reported by strategic agents. A mechanism maps the agents' locations to a set of facilities. The agents seek to minimize their connection cost,...
Location cache: a low-power L2 cache system
ISLPED '04: Proceedings of the 2004 international symposium on Low power electronics and designWhile set-associative caches incur fewer misses than direct-mapped caches, they typically have slower hit times and higher power consumption, when multiple tag and data banks are probed in parallel. This paper presents the location cache structure which ...
Effective and efficient location influence mining in location-based social networks
AbstractLocation-based social networks (LBSN) are social networks complemented with location data such as geo-tagged activity data of its users. In this paper, we study how users of an LBSN are navigating between locations and based on this information we ...
