Abstract | This paper addresses the problem of monitoring the k nearest neighbors to a dynamically changing path in road networks. Given a destination where a user is going to, this new query returns the k-NN with respect to the shortest path connecting the destination and the user's current location, and thus provides a list of nearest candidates for reference by considering the whole coming journey. We name this query the k-Path Nearest Neighbor query (k-PNN). As the user is moving and may not always follow the shortest path, the query path keeps changing. The challenge of monitoring the k-PNN for an arbitrarily moving user is to dynamically determine the update locations and then refresh the k-PNN efficiently. We propose a three-phase Best-first Network Expansion (BNE) algorithm for monitoring the k-PNN and the corresponding shortest path. In the searching phase, the BNE finds the shortest path to the destination, during which a candidate set that guarantees to include the k-PNN is generated at the same time. Then in the verification phase, a heuristic algorithm runs for examining candidates' exact distances to the query path, and it achieves significant reduction in the number of visited nodes. The monitoring phase deals with computing update locations as well as refreshing the k-PNN in different user movements. Since determining the network distance is a costly process, an expansion tree and the candidate set are carefully maintained by the BNE algorithm, which can provide efficient update on the shortest path and the k-PNN results. Finally, we conduct extensive experiments on real road networks and show that our methods achieve satisfactory performance. |

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.
