Description
Summary:Optimal location (OL) queries are a type of spatial queries particularly useful for the strategic planning of resources. Given a set of existing facilities and a set of clients, an OL query asks for a location to build a new facility that optimizes a certain cost metric (defined based on the distances between the clients and the facilities). Several techniques have been proposed to address OL queries, assuming that all clients and facilities reside in an Lp space. This paper presents the implementation as well as the evaluation of the efficiency of a pioneer solution in road networks through extensive experiments with real data.
