Özet:

A middleware for Location Dependent applications is designed and a formal query model that imposes the inherent translation process is constructed. The problem of Location Granularity Mismatch is introduced, and algorithms are designed towards a better the quality of service in the face of this problem. A prototype implementation of the middleware architecture is designed and a mobility benchmark for these kinds of applications is also proposed. Quality metrics from information retrieval, precision/recall are introduced towards the query processing evaluation.
