Proximity-based social applications let users interact with people that are currently close to them, by revealing some information about their preferences and whereabouts. This information is acquired through passive geo-localisation and…
The extensive use of smartphones and wearable devices has facilitated many useful applications. For example, with Global Positioning System (GPS)-equipped smart and wearable devices, many applications can gather, process, and share rich…
Geospatial Linked Data is an emerging domain with growing interest in research and industry. There is an increasing number of publicly available geospatial Linked Data resources and they need to be interlinked and easily integrated with…
This paper studies combined relay selection and opportunistic geographic routing strategies for autonomous wireless sensor networks where transmissions occur over multiple hops. The proposed solution is built upon three constituent parts:…
Geographic routing consists in using the position information of nodes to assist in the routing process, and has been a widely studied subject in sensor networks. One of the outstanding challenges facing geographic routing has been its…
In this paper, we present a new framework that links the two worlds of wired and cellular users sharing systems. The approach is to propose an easy gateway that enables the use of cellular networks based services by wireline users and…
Web search engines have long served as indispensable tools for information retrieval; user behavior and query formulation strategies have been well studied. The introduction of search engines powered by large language models (LLMs)…
Terahertz (THz) communications are celebrated as key enablers for converged localization and sensing in future sixth-generation (6G) wireless communication systems and beyond. Instead of being a byproduct of the communication system,…
Administrative data allows us to count for the number of residents. The geo-localization of people by mobile phone, by quantifying the number of people at a given moment in time, enriches the amount of useful information for "smart"…
Thanks to rapid advances in technologies like GPS and Wi-Fi positioning, smartphone users are able to determine their location almost everywhere they go. This is not true, however, of people who are traveling in underground public…
Smartphone apps provide a vitally important opportunity for monitoring human mobility, human experience of ubiquitous information aids, and human activity in our increasingly well-instrumented spaces. As wireless data capabilities move…
We propose a new task of recommending touristic locations based on a user's visiting history in a geographically remote region. This can be used to plan a touristic visit to a new city or country, or by travel agencies to provide…
Online social networks convey rich information about geospatial facets of reality. However in most cases, geographic information is not explicit and structured, thus preventing its exploitation in real-time applications. We address this…
The ubiquitous presence of WiFi access points and mobile devices capable of measuring WiFi signal strengths allow for real-world applications in indoor localization and mapping. In particular, no additional infrastructure is required.…
The currently deployed contact-tracing mobile apps have failed as an efficient solution in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. None of them has managed to attract the number of active users required to achieve an efficient operation. This…
There have been various navigation and tracking systems being developed with the help of technologies like GPS, GSM, Bluetooth, IR, Wi-Fi and Radar. Outdoor positioning systems have been deployed quite successfully using GPS but positioning…
Determining the geographic focus of digital media is an essential first step for modern geographic information retrieval. However, publicly-visible location annotations are remarkably sparse in online data. In this work, we demonstrate a…
This paper surveys visualization and interaction techniques for geospatial networks from a total of 95 papers. Geospatial networks are graphs where nodes and links can be associated with geographic locations. Examples can include social…
This paper presents a comparison of cluster-based position and non position-based routing protocols for mobile wireless sensor networks to outline design considerations of protocols for mobile environments. The selected protocols are…
We propose using the predictability of human motion to eliminate the overhead of distributed location services in human-carried MANETs, dubbing the technique location profile routing. This method outperforms the Geographic Hashing Location…
