| Abstract | In this article, we study an optimal location query based on a road network. Specifically, given a road network containing clients and servers, an optimal location query finds a location on the road network such that when a new server is set up at this location, a certain cost function computed based on the clients and servers (including the new server) is optimized. Two types of cost functions, namely, MinMax and MaxSum, have been used for this query. The optimal location query problem with MinMax as the cost function is called the MinMax query, which finds a location for setting up a new server such that the maximum cost of a client being served by his/her closest server is minimized. The optimal location query problem with MaxSum as the cost function is called the MaxSum query, which finds a location for setting up a new server such that the sum of the weights of clients attracted by the new server is maximized. The MinMax query and the MaxSum query correspond to two types of optimal location query with the objectives defined from the clients' perspective and from the new server's perspective, respectively. Unfortunately, the existing solutions for the optimal query problem are not efficient. In this article, we propose an efficient algorithm, namely, $\textit{MinMax-Alg}$ $(\textit{MaxSum-Alg}),$ for the MinMax (MaxSum) query, which is based on a novel idea of nearest location component. We also discuss two extensions of the optimal location query, namely, the optimal multiple-location query and the optimal location query on a 3D road network. Extensive experiments were conducted, showing that our algorithms are faster than the state of the art by at least an order of magnitude on large real benchmark datasets. For example, in our largest real datasets, the state of the art ran for more than 10 (12) hours while our algorithm ran within 3 (2) minutes only for the MinMax (MaxSum) query, that is, our algorithm ran at least 200 (600) times faster than the state of the art. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
