Part 1 - Data Management for Mobile Services: Enabling the Mobile Internet

This part describes aspects of the role of data management in enabling mobile services. The focus is on geo-context awareness.

1. Motivation

• Web 2.0

• The mobile Internet

• The streamspin system

2. Tracking of moving objects

• Shared prediction based tracking with accuracy guarantees

• Spatially varying accuracies

3. Enabling routes and destinations as geo-context

• The capture of the routes of vehicles

• The prediction of a vehicle's route and destination

4. Linear referencing and data modeling for mobile services

• General concepts

• In Oracle

• Real-world case study

Part 2 - Data Management for Mobile Services: Indexing of Moving Objects

This part covers R-tree and B-tree based indexing of moving objects.

1. The TPR-tree, the REXP-tree, and the RPPF-tree

2. The Bx-tree, the Bx'-tree, and the BBx-tree

3. Benchmarking of moving-object indexes
