Hovering Information: A Self-Organising Infrastructure-Free Information Storage and Retrieval Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
This technical report paper introduces the Spatial Memory concept which defines any geographical location as a memory where information can be stored and retrieval by user-applications. The Hovering Information Middleware is also introduced as a constrained implementation of the Spatial Memory concept. This middleware is based on results presented on previous works related with Hovering Information. Two main modules of the middleware are discussed and evaluated, the Storage and the Retrieval Modules. The evaluation is done by simulations using both random-way-point and real mobility patterns. Real mobility patterns are generated with the SLAW real mobility model. The simulations evaluate current storage and retrieval algorithms and outlines the major drawbacks and potential improvements for next milestones.

Hovering Information - Infrastructure-Free Self-Organising Location-Aware Information Dissemination Service1
This paper proposes a location-based service for disseminating geo-localised information generated by and aimed at mobile users. The service itself works in a self-organising manner. A piece of hovering information is attached to a geographical point, called the anchor location, and to its vicinity area, called the anchor area. It is responsible for keeping itself alive, available and accessibl...
متن کاملInformation Retrieval and Filtering over Self-organising Digital Libraries
We present iClusterDL, a self-organising overlay network that supports information retrieval and filtering functionality in a digital library environment. iClusterDL is able to handle huge amounts of data provided by digital libraries in a distributed and self-organising way. The two-tier architecture and the use of semantic overlay networks provide an infrastructure for creating large networks...
متن کاملHovering Information - Self-Organising Information that Finds its Own Storage1
A piece of Hovering Information is a geo-localized information residing in a highly dynamic environment such as a mobile ad hoc network. This information is attached to a geographical point, called the anchor location, and to its vicinity area, called anchor area. A piece of hovering information is responsible for keeping itself alive, available and accessible to other devices within its anchor...
متن کاملRetrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
