This article presents a method of the rough estimation of geographical coordinates of villages and cities, which is described in the 19th-Century geographical encyclopedia entitled: “The Geographical Dictionary of the Polish Kingdom and Other Slavic Countries” [18]. Described are the algorithm function for estimating location, the tools used to acquire and process necessary information, and the...

Social networks are valuable sources of information to monitor real-time events, such as earthquakes and epidemics. For this type of surveillance, users location is an essential piece of information, but a substantial number of users choose not to disclose their geographical information. However, characteristics of the users’ behavior, such as the friends they associate with and the types of me...

In a recent paper (Torre & Rallet, 2005), we sought to understand the role of geographical space in the coordination of individuals and organizations and for this purpose we used two proximity related concepts: geographical proximity and organized proximity. Geographical proximity, can under certain conditions, facilitate interactions and common actions between economic actors that are located ...

We are building a wide-area location service that tracks the current location of mobile and replicated objects. The location service should support up to 1012 objects on a worldwide scale. To support this huge number of objects, the workload of the location service is distributed over multiple nodes. Our load distribution method is unique in that it is aware of the (geographical) location of no...

As an important initial step to exploit such dimensions for web search, we have focused on geographical relevance. Web sites containing information on restaurants or apartment rentals, for instance, are relevant primarily to web users in geographical proximity to these locations. In contrast, an on-line newspaper may be relevant to users across the United States. We have studied how to mine the...

This paper evaluates three routing strategies for wireless sensor networks: source, shortest path, and hierarchical-geographical, which are the three most commonly employed by wireless ad-hoc and sensor networks algorithms. Source routing was selected because it does not require costly topology maintenance, while shortest path routing was chosen because of its simple discovery routing approach ...
