Hovering Information : A paradigm for sharing location-bound information
نویسندگان
چکیده
Geo-referenced information is today coupled, stored and accessed not to the location it refers to, but on the server it is stored on. The next step in the (re)evolution of information storage and dissemination will be to couple and store the information in the location to which it refers to. In this paper, we lay the foundations and research questions of a new paradigm for sharing information which we term Hovering Information (HoverInfo). Hovering allows for decoupling information from its host and promotes coupling of this information with a specific geographical location. In this regard, hovering information stays “attached” to a specific geographical area. Information hovers from one mobile device to another, in a quest to remain within a specific vicinity and avail itself to users currently present or entering its anchoring geographical location..

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...

The facility location problem is a strategic decision-making for a supply chain, which determines the profitability and sustainability of its components. This paper deals with a scenario where two supply chains, consisting of a producer, a number of distribution centers and several retailers provided with similar products, compete to maintain their market shares by opening new distribution cent...
متن کاملLPKP: location-based probabilistic key pre-distribution scheme for large-scale wireless sensor networks using graph coloring
Communication security of wireless sensor networks is achieved using cryptographic keys assigned to the nodes. Due to resource constraints in such networks, random key pre-distribution schemes are of high interest. Although in most of these schemes no location information is considered, there are scenarios that location information can be obtained by nodes after their deployment. In this paper,...
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...

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 Informa...
