This paper firstly analyzes the importance and necessity of location dependent query in the mobile computing. Then, it proposes a special case in the application of the location dependent query. That is as follows: Inquirers may send the same location dependent query in different but similar positions. However, the server will not deal with them together but treat them separately. Thus, it will not only cause the waste of system resources but also delay disposal of other queries. According to the principal of clustering we propose a new location Analysis Algorithms-similar merging location analysis algorithm (SMLA). By the algorithm, similar queries can be combined into the same query, so as to reduce the load on central servers, improve system efficiency and query processing performance.

In recent years, mobile devices and applications achieved an increasing development. In database field, this development required methods to consider new query types like location-dependent queries (i.e. the query results depend on the query issuer location). Although several researches addressed problems related to location-dependent query processing, a few works considered timing requirements that may be associated with queries (i.e., the query results must be delivered to mobile clients on time). The main objective of this paper is to propose a solution for location-dependent query processing under soft real-time constraints. Hence, we propose methods to take into account client location-dependency and to maximize the percentage of queries respecting their deadlines. We validate our proposal by implementing a prototype based on Oracle DBMS. Performance evaluation results show that the proposed solution optimizes the percentage of queries meeting their deadlines and the communication cost.

The idea of this article is based on the parallel indexing concept (Taniar & Rahayu, 2002) in which an indexed object residing in a BS is either fully, partially, or not replicated to others BSs. Therefore, every server contains either partial or all indexes of other servers. In our proposed approach, whenever the requested results return from neighboring cells, we append the resulting items to the current cell. This implies that when the next user sends a request, the current cell needs to look up its own index first to verify if the data is in its local storage. If the data is not present, the current server sends a request to the neighboring cells on behalf of the client; otherwise, the current server directly sends the requested query to the client. We have evaluated our proposed approach and showed that the access time can be reduced by a factor of two.The next section of this article describes some related work. We then describe our proposed work and the simulation model, and we compare the performance of our proposed technique to other techniques. Finally, we conclude the article and suggest future work.

With the advent of wireless sensor networks and their deep integration with the world have enabled users worldwide to achieve benefits from location-based services through mobile applications, the problems such as low bandwidth, high network traffic, and disconnections issues are normally extracted from mobile services. An efficient database system is required to manage mentioned problems. Our research work finds the probability of user’s next locations. A mobile user (query issuer) changes its position when performing a specific mobile search, where these queries change and repeat the search with the issuer position. Moreover, the query issuer can be static and may perform searches with varying conditions of queries. Data is exchanged with mobile devices and questions that are formulated during searching for query issuer locations. An aim of the research work is achieved through effectively processing of queries in terms of location-dependent, originated by mobile users. Significant studies have been performed in this field in the last two decades. In this paper, our novel approach comprise of usage of semantic caches with the Bayesian networks using a prediction algorithm. Our approach is unique and distinct from the traditional query processing system especially in mobile domain for the prediction of future locations of users. Consequently, a better search is analyzed using the response time of data fetch from the cache.

Benchmarks define techniques which can be followed to determine the effectiveness of a given software or hardware design. Ever since the development of the Wisconsin Benchmark and subsequent transaction-processing (TPC) benchmarks, there has been a concensus and general acceptance of these performance comparison tools. However, these benchmarks are not sufficient to determine the performance of mobile-based applications. For example, these traditional benchmarks ignore some of the important wireless-mobile features such as location-dependent queries and movement of the mobile host. In this chapter we examine the issues needed for the development of such a mobile query benchmark. In particular, we focus on queries which involve location-dependent features. We first examine the unique aspects of this mobile architecture which impact any benchmark design, and then propose a benchmark suitable for it.
