Abstract

Recently, with the broad usage of location-aware devices, applications with moving object management become very popular. In order to manage moving objects efficiently, many spatial/spatial-temporal data access methods have been proposed. However, most of these data access methods are designed for single-user environments. In multiple-user systems, frequent updates may cause a significant number of read-write conflicts using these data access methods. In this paper, we propose an efficient framework, Concurrent LocAtion Management (CLAM), for managing moving objects in multiple-user environments. The proposed concurrency control protocol integrates the efficiency of the link-based approach and the flexibility of the lock-coupling mechanism. Based on this protocol, concurrent location update and search algorithms are provided. We formally analyze and prove the correctness of the proposed concurrent operations. Experiment results on real datasets validate the efficiency and scalability of the proposed concurrent location management framework.
