Description: |
In February 2012, Cisco reported that the number of mobile-connected devices will exceed the world's population (more than 7 Billion) by the end of 2012. Furthermore, iSuppli noted that 1.5 Billion handsets were sold in 2011 and 32 percent of these were smartphones, i.e., the phones with advanced functionalities such as GPS and Wi-Fi. This share is expected to increase to 60 percent of the total handsets sold in 2015. Cisco also mentioned that the average smartphone usage almost tripled in 2011 (as compared to 2010). Due to the sheer increase in the usage of smartphones and other GPS enabled devices, cheap wireless network bandwidth and the availability of huge amount of data related to the locations, location-based services are becoming increasingly popular. Skyhook reported that the number of location-based applications being developed each month is increasing exponentially. Some applications of location-based services include navigation, mobile yellow pages, location-based advertising, emergency services, geosocial networking, location-based games, travel planning and location-based billing etc. The aim of this project is to develop efficient techniques for processing location-based queries (also known as spatial queries). |
