Abstract :
Context management systems collect large volumes of spatial and non-spatial information. In particular, when these systems cover large areas like cities, countries or even the entire planet, the design of scalable storage, retrieval and delivery mechanisms is paramount. The Daidalos context management system has been design to meet the requirements of large scale systems. This paper presents the Daidalos approach for a scalable distributed data management approach. The system architecture, the management of mobile database nodes and federation issues are described.
