Maintaining quality of service for adaptive mobile map clients

In this paper we present the implementation of an adaptive mobile map client. We used a client-proxy-server model that enables the map client to activate and deactivate a set of filters managed by the proxy. We developed three map generalization filters each of which reduces the amount of data received by the map client using a different technique. A set of experiments and their results are discussed along with some heuristics that we believe could help optimize the use of the system.
