Digital identities are increasingly important for mediating not only digital but also physical service transactions. Managing such identities through centralized providers can cause both availability and privacy concerns: single points of…
Recently, a new approach to perform regression testing has been defined: the point of interest (POI) testing. A POI, in this context, is any expression of a program. The approach receives as input a set of relations between POIs from a…
Extracting significant places or places of interest (POIs) using individuals' spatio-temporal data is of fundamental importance for human mobility analysis. Classical clustering methods have been used in prior work for detecting POIs, but…
Location entropy (LE) is a popular metric for measuring the popularity of various locations (e.g., points-of-interest). Unlike other metrics computed from only the number of (unique) visits to a location, namely frequency, LE also captures…
In location-based social networks (LBSNs), users sense urban point-of-interest (PoI) information in the vicinity and share such information with friends in online social networks. Given users' limited social connections and severe lags in…
This paper investigates how and with whom IoT devices communicate and how their location affects their communication patterns. Specifically, the endpoints an IoT device communicates with can be defined as a small set of domains. To study…
Position-based routing protocols take advantage of location information to perform a stateless and efficient routing. To enable position-based routing, a node must be able to discover the location of the messages' destination node. This…
Labeling issues with the skills required to complete them can help contributors to choose tasks in Open Source Software projects. However, manually labeling issues is time-consuming and error-prone, and current automated approaches are…
As a fundamental component in location-based services, inferring the relationship between points-of-interests (POIs) is very critical for service providers to offer good user experience to business owners and customers. Most of the existing…
While deep learning has significantly improved ReID model accuracy under the independent and identical distribution (IID) assumption, it has also become clear that such models degrade notably when applied to an unseen novel domain due to…
Indoor location-based services (LBS), such as POI search and routing, are often built on top of typical indoor spatial queries. To support such queries and indoor LBS, multiple techniques including model/indexes and search algorithms have…
Finding information about tourist places to visit is a challenging problem that people face while visiting different countries. This problem is accentuated when people are coming from different countries, speak different languages, and are…
Nowadays, mobile users have a vast number of applications and services at their disposal. Each of these might impose some privacy threats on users' "Personally Identifiable Information" (PII). Location privacy is a crucial part of PII, and…
This paper proposes a privacy protection and evaluation method for location services based on edge computing environment. By constructing the site service data protection and system evaluation system in the edge computing environment, based…
Recommending points of interest (POIs) is a challenging task that requires extracting comprehensive location data from location-based social media platforms. To provide effective location-based recommendations, it's important to analyze…
Recommendation for new users, also called user cold start, has been a well-recognized challenge for online recommender systems. Most existing methods view the crux as the lack of initial data. However, in this paper, we argue that there are…
The task of point-of-interest (POI) recommendation is to predict users' immediate future movements based on their previous records and present circumstances. Popularity is considered as one of the primary deciding factors for selecting the…
Accurate prediction of the next point of interest (POI) within human mobility trajectories is essential for location-based services, as it enables more timely and personalized recommendations. In particular, with the rise of these…
The aliasing question (can two reference expressions point, during an execution, to the same object?) is both one of the most critical in practice, for applications ranging from compiler optimization to programmer verification, and one of…
In edge computing, edge servers are placed in close proximity to end-users. App vendors can deploy their services on edge servers to reduce network latency experienced by their app users. The edge user allocation (EUA) problem challenges…
