Abstract:
In recent years computer applications have been deployed to manage spatial data with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to store and analyze data related to domains such as transportation and tourism. Recent developments have shown that there is an urgent need to develop systems for mobile devices and particularly for Location Based Services (LBS) such as proximity analysis that helps in finding the nearest neighbors, for example, restaurant, and the facilities that are located within a circle area around the user's location, known as a buffer area, for example, all restaurants within 100 meters.
