ABSTRACT
Location-based social networks, such as Foursquare and Facebook Places, are bridging the gap between the physical world and online social networking services through acquired user locations. Some social networks released check-in services that allow users to share their visiting locations with their friends. In this paper, users' interests are modeled by check-in actions. We propose a new spatial-aware interest group (SIG) query that retrieves a user group of size k where every user is highly interested in the query keyword and also spatially close to each other. An efficient algorithm AIR based on the IR-tree is proposed for the processing of SIG queries. Furthermore, an optimization is developed and achieves a much better performance than the baseline algorithm.

Exploiting location-aware social networks for efficient spatial query processing
In this paper, we introduce two watchtower-based parameter-tunable frameworks for efficient spatial processing with sparse distributions of Points of Interest (POIs) by exploiting mobile users' check-in data collected from the location-aware social ...
Anonymous Query Processing in Road Networks
The increasing availability of location-aware mobile devices has given rise to a flurry of location-based services (LBSs). Due to the nature of spatial queries, an LBS needs the user position in order to process her requests. On the other hand, ...
