Location-based services (LBSs) are expected to process a large number of spatial queries, such as shortest path and k-nearest neighbor queries that arrive simultaneously at peak periods. Deploying more LBS servers to process these simultaneous spatial queries is a potential solution. However, this significantly increases service operating costs. Recently, batch processing solutions have been proposed to process a set of queries using shareable computation. In this study, we investigate the problem of batch processing moving k-nearest neighbor (MkNN) queries in dynamic spatial networks, where the travel time of each road segment changes frequently based on the traffic conditions. LBS servers based on one-query-at-a-time processing often fail to process simultaneous MkNN queries because of the significant number of redundant computations. We aim to improve the efficiency algorithmically by processing MkNN queries in batches and reusing sharable computations. Extensive evaluation using real-world roadmaps shows the superiority of our solution compared with state-of-the-art methods.

In this paper, we propose an optimization scheme for a k-Nearest Neighbor(k-NN) query, which finds k objects closest to the query in the high dimensional feature vectors. The k-NN query is converted and processed into a range query based on the range that is likely to contain k data. In this paper, we propose an optimization scheme using DNN model to derive an optimal range that can reduce processing cost and accelerate search speed. The entire system of the proposed scheme is composed of online and offline modules. In the online module, a query is actually processed when it is issued from a client. In the offline module, an optimal range is derived for the query by using the DNN model and is delivered to the online module. It is shown through various performance evaluations that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing schemes.

멀티미디어 데이터베이스에서 k-최근접 질의는 가장 일반적이며, 비공간 검색 조건이 포함된 경우가 많다. 현재까지 이러한 질의를 위한 여러 기법 중에서 Hjaltason과 Samet이 제안한 점증적 최근접 알고리즘에 가장 유용하다고 알려져 있다. 질의 처리를 위해 상위 연산자가 k보다 많은 객체를 요구할 때, 이 알고리즘은 처음부터 질의를 재실행하지 않고 다음 객체를 전달할 수 있기 때문이다. 그런데, 이 알고리즘에서 사용하는 R-트리는 결국에는 비공간 검색조건을 만족시키지 않을 투플 후보들을 부분적으로 제거할 수가 없기 때문에 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서 우리는 이 알고리즘을 보완한 RS-트리 기반 점증적 최근접 알고리즘을 제안한다. RS-트리는 R-트리와, 그 보조 트리로서 계층적 시스니쳐 파일을 기반으로 하는 S-트리로 구성된다. S-트리는 R-트리를 탐색하는 과정에서 많은 불필요한 투플을 제거하는 역할을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통해 RS-트리가 Hjaltason과 Samet의 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

With the growing popularity of smart devices, various location based services have been providing to users. Recently, some location based social applications that combine social services and location based services have been emerged. The demands of a k-nearest neighbors(k-NN) query which finds k closest locations from a user location are increased in the location based social network services. In this paper, we propose an approximate k-NN query processing method for fast response time in a large number of users environments. The proposed method performs efficient stream processing using big data distributed processing technologies. In this paper, we also propose a modified grid index method for indexing a large amount of location data. The proposed query processing method first retrieves the related cells by considering a user movement. By doing so, it can make an approximate k results set. In order to show the superiority of the proposed method, we conduct various performance evaluations with the existing method.

Nearest neighbor query retrieves nearest located target objects, and is very frequently used in mobile environment. In this paper we propose a novel neatest neighbor query processing technique that is able to retrieve nearest located target object from the user who is continuously moving with a direction. The proposed method retrieves objects using the direction property of moving object as well as euclidean distance to target object. The proposed method is applicable to traffic information system, travel information system, and location-based recommendation system which require retrieving nearest located object.

최근 모바일 기기의 발달과 기기의 보급으로 인하여, 사용자의 이동성에 따른 위치 정보에 관한 질의 요구가 증가되고 있다. 이러한 사회적 특성에 맞추어 현재 위치를 중심으로 주변 객체를 찾는 최근접주변 객체 질의에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존 최근접 주변객체 질의는 2차원 공간에서 질의 점 주변에 보이는 모든 객체를 검색하며 보이지 않는 객체는 제외시킨다. 하지만 3차원 공간 환경일 경우 객체들의 높이를 감안해야 하기 때문에 기존 기법들로는 3차원 근접주변 객체를 검색하기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 이런 문제점을 해결하는 새로운 3차원 최근접 주변객체 질의 (3dimensional Nearest Surrounder Query: 3dNS)를 제안한다. 객체들 간의 Z_angle 수직각도를 사용함으로써 3차원 공간 환경에서 객체 검색을 가능하게 하며 질의 처리의 정확성을 높일 수 있다.

Recently, advances in mobile devices and wireless communication technologies require research on various location-based services. As a result, many studies on processing k-nearest neighbor query, which is most im portant one in location-based services, have been done. Most of existing studies use pre-computation technique to improve retrieval performance by computing network distance between POIs and nodes beforehand in spatial networks. However, they have a drawback that they can not deal with effectively the update of POIs to be searched. In this paper, we propose a distributed grid scheme using S-GRID to overcome the disadvantage of the existing work as well as to manage the location information of a large number of moving objects in efficient way. In addition, we describe a k-nearest neighbor(k-NN) query processing algorithm for the proposed distributed grid scheme. Finally, we show the efficiency of our distributed grid scheme by making a performance comparison between the k-NN query processing algorithm of our scheme and that of S-GRID.

Spatial data base system provides many query types and most of them are required frequent disk I/O and much CPU time. k-NN search is to find k-th closest object from the query point and up to now, several k-NN search methods have been proposed. Among these, MINMAX distance method has an aim not to access unnecessary node by adapting pruning technique. But this method accesses more disks than necessary while pruning unnecessary nodes. In this paper, we propose new k-NN search algorithm based on density of object. With this method, we predict the radius to be expected to contain k-NN objects using density of data set and search those objects within this radius and then adjust radius if failed. Experimental results show that this method outperforms the previous MINMAX distance method. This algorithm visit less disks than MINMAX method by the factor of maximum 22% and average 7%.
