Recently, the wireless positioning techniques and mobile computing techniques were developed with rapidly to use location data of moving objects. Also, the demand for LBS(Location Based Services) which uses location data of moving objects is increasing rapidly. In order to support various LBS, a system that can store and retrieve location data of moving objects efficiently is required necessarily. The more the number of moving objects is numerous and the more periodical sampling of locations is frequent, the more location data of moving objects become very large. Hence the system should be able to efficiently manage mass location data, support various spatio-temporal queries for LBS, and solve the uncertainty problem of moving objects. Therefore, in this paper, we presented a hash technique, a clustering technique and a trajectory search technique to manage location data of moving objects efficiently And, we have developed a Mass Moving Object Location Data Management System, which is a disk-based system, that can store and retrieve location data of mass moving objects efficiently and support the query for spatio-temporal data and the past location data with uncertainty. By analying the performance of the Mass Moving Object Locations Management system and the SQL-Server, we can find that the performance of our system for storing and retrieving location data of moving objects was about 5% and 300% better than the SQL-Server, repectively.

Recently, Location Based Service including tracking and way-finding services has been activated rapidly in the ubiquitous computing environment. According as the ubiquitous computing environment is developed, various types of sensor to acquire various data including location of the moving object are used widely, and acquired sensor data becomes abundant. However, the existing location management system based on a single location sensor is difficult to support LBS efficiently in the ubiquitous computing environment. In this paper, therefore, we propose the location management system in the ubiquitous computing environment that can manage the location data and the various sensor data efficiently. In addition, the location management system adopts the core technology for efficiently storing and transferring a large-volume of various data such as location data and for efficiently processing the various requests from a variety of servers and sensors. Especially, our architecture that is presented in this paper can support context-aware services and autonomous services efficiently in the ubiquitous computing environment.

A vehicle Control System that is a system combined by a Car Navigation System, a Geograhical Information System, and a Communication Network usually permit a central control room to detect vehicle's locations dynamically and manage these informations synthetically. Therefore, a vehicle control system can be used to control the rapid movement of patrol cars, freight transportation, and so on. In this paper, we designed and implemented a data manager for an application system, such as a vehicle control system, that usually manages road data, vehicle data, vehicle's location data, etc. The data manager that is implemented in this paper consists of system management module, road data management module, vehicle data management module, GPS(Global Positioning System) data management module, and additional data management module. Especially, we use the SHORE(Scalable Heterogeneous Object REpository) system as a storage system of the data manager.

Recently, with the rapid development of mobile computing, wireless positioning technologies, and the generalization of wireless internet, LBS (Location Based Service) which utilizes location information of moving objects is serving in many fields. In order to serve LBS efficiently, the location data server that periodically stores location data of moving objects is required. Formerly, GIS servers have been used to store location data of moving objects. However, GIS servers are not suitable to store location data of moving objects because it was designed to store static data. Therefore, in this paper, we designed and implemented an extended SLDS(Short-term Location Data Subsystem) for real-time Location Based Services. The extended SLDS is extended from the SLDS which is a subsystem of the GALIS(Gracefully Aging Location Information System) architecture that was proposed as a cluster-based distributed computing system architecture for managing location data of moving objects. The extended SLDS guarantees real-time service capabilities using the TMO(Time-triggered Message-triggered Object) programming scheme and efficiently manages large volume of location data through distributing moving object data over multiple nodes. The extended SLDS also has a little search and update overhead because of managing location data in main memory. In addition, we proved that the extended SLDS stores location data and performs load distribution more efficiently than the original SLDS through the performance evaluation.

In mobile computing environments, queries based on the location of mobile clients (MCs) may cause different results. We say that the data of these results are location dependent data (LDD). Location-dependent queries to LDD need to be processed in conjunction with the geographical distance. The efficiency of query processing may also be increased by LDD relationship, etc. But there is the problem of fuzziness about how the distance used in location-dependent queries is evaluated and the data regions are organized. In this paper, we quantify the fuzziness of a location-dependent fuery on LDD. And we propose data regions for LDD, called LDD regions, by relationship of accessed data and the degree of distance between data objects and MCs' locations. In simulation studies we show that the number of database access for location-dependent queries, which have several settings on MCs' favor and two granularity of regions, can be smaller in proposed LDD regions than that in geographical regions.

시공간 데이타베이스에서 저장대상이 되는 이동객체는 실시간으로 위치가 변화하는 동적인 데이타이다. 동일한 객체의 위치정보가 여러 데이타베이스 서버에 분산 저장 될 수 있으며, 질의 역시 여러 서버에 걸쳐서 분산질의 형태로 수행될 필요성이 있다. 이를 위해서 본 논문에서는 실시간 객체 모델인 TMO(Time-triggered Message-triggered Object)를 이용하여 이동 객체를 발생시키고 객체의 위치를 저장, 질의하는 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. TMO를 이용한 분산 저장을 통해 입력 시 발생할 수 있는 오버헤드를 줄이고. 데이타베이스간에 완전 연결 네트워크가 형성되어 각 데이타베이스 서버간의 상호 작용을 최소화 할 수 있게 된다. 이 시스템은 실시간으로 분산 위치정보를 관리해야 하는 여러 응용 분야에서 효과적으로 활용될 수 있다.

최근 이동체의 위치 데이타를 활용하는 위치 기반 서비스에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. 이러한 위치 기반 서비스에서 이용되는 대용량 위치 데이타를 효율적으로 관리하기 위한 아키텍처로서 클러스터 기반 분산 컴퓨팅 구조를 갖는 GALIS(Gracefully Aging Location Information System) 아키텍처가 제안되었다. GALIS는 비균등 2-단계 그리드를 사용하여 노드들의 부하 분산 및 색인을 수행한다. 하지만 비균등 2-단계 그리드의 분할 알고리즘은 이동체가 특정 지역에 편중되는 경우 불필요한 노드를 생성하는 문제를 가지고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이동체의 다양한 분포에 대하여 더욱 효율적인 노드 분할 알고리즘을 제시한다. 본 논문에서 제시한 노드 분할 알고리즘은 이동체의 현재 위치에 따른 공간적 분포를 고려하기 때문에 이동체가 특정 지역에 편중되는 경우에도 불필요한 노드를 생성하지 않고 효율적인 부하 분산을 수행할 수 있으며, 분산 시스템에서 중요시되는 균형 있는 부하 분산을 수행할 수 있다. 또한, 가상 노드 분할 시뮬레이터를 구현하여 다양한 이동체 데이타 분포 형태에 대해 실험하였으며, 이러한 실험을 통하여 기존의 알고리즘보다 더욱 효율적으로 노드를 분할하는 것을 검증하였다.

Recently, hierarchical architectures of databases for location management have been proposed in order to accommodate the increase in user population in future personal communication systems. In particular, a 3-level hierarchical database architecture is compatible with current cellular mobile systems. In the architecture, a newly developed additional databases, regional location database(RLR), are positioned between HLR and VLRs. We propose an efficient cache scheme, called the Double T-thresholds Location Cache Scheme. The cache scheme extends the existing T-threshold location cache scheme which is competent only under 2-level architecture of location databases currently adopted by IS-41 and GSM. The idea behind our scheme is to use two pieces of cache information, VLR and RLR serving called portables. The two pieces are required in order to exploit root only locality of registration area(RA) but also locality of regional registration area(RRA) which is the wide area covered by RLR. We also use two threshold values in order to determine whether the two pieces are obsolete. In order to model the RRA residence time, the branching Eralng-$\infty$ distribution is introduced. Our minute cost analysis shows that the double T-threshold location cache scheme yields significant reduction of network and database costs for molt patterns of portables.

Various researches on moving object modeling, uncertainty processing, and moving object indexing have been tarried out in the field of moving object databases. However. previous location tracking systems cannot efficiently retrieve location data of vehicles, because they manage all location information of vehicles using the conventional database. In this paper, we design the vehicle location management systen that is able to manage and retrieve vehicle locations efficiently in mobile environment. The proposed system consists of a server for managing vehicle locations and mobile clients. The system is able to not only process spatiotemporal queries related to locations of moving vehicles but also Provide moving vehicles' locations which are not stored in the system. The system is also able to manage vehicle location data effectively using a moving object index.
