Discovery of Convoys in Network Proximity Log

Abstract: This paper describes an algorithm for discovery of convoys in database with proximity log. Traditionally, discovery of convoys covers trajectories databases. This paper presents a model for context-aware browsing application based on the network proximity. Our model uses mobile phone as proximity sensor and proximity data replaces location information. As per our concept, any existing or even especially created wireless network node could be used as presence sensor that can discover access to some dynamic or user-generated content. Content revelation in this model depends on rules based on the proximity. Discovery of convoys in historical user's logs provides a new class of rules for delivering local content to mobile subscribers.
