Download: Query Processing in Mobile Peer-to-peer Databases (power point)

Abstract: The query processing paradigm in sensor networks postulates that a query is routed among sensors and collects the answers from the sensors on its trajectory. It works for static and connected sensor networks. However, when the network consists of mobile sensors and is sparse, a different approach is necessary. In this paper we propose a store-and-forward query processing method that uses gossiping. It makes the data items satisfying a query flow to its originator. To cope with energy, communication bandwidth, and storage constraints, the method prioritizes the data-items in terms of their value, as reflected by supply and demand. Simulations show that our approach outperforms two existing mobile sensor network algorithms.

Biography: Bo Xu is a Research Scientist in the Department of Computer Science at UIC. He received his B.S. degree in Computer Science from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1991, and his Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, in 1994 and 1997 respectively. His research interests include mobile data management and computational transportation science. He has published 50 refereed journal and conference papers in these fields. His papers have received over 110 peer citations as of 2007. He received the best paper award for "Opportunistic Resource Exchange in Inter-vehicle Ad Hoc Networks", at the 2004 5th International Mobile Data Management Conference. He is an author of the keynote paper of the Second International Workshop on Databases, Information Systems, and Peer-to-Peer Computing, and the keynote paper of the 2004 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control.
