This project proposes novel algorithmic and combinatorial optimization research with the goal of developing efficient search engines for locating mobile information (mobiles) in current and future wireless networks using a new paradigm of mobile directories. The mobile directories are composed of profiles that reflect certain and statistical knowledge about locations of mobiles under various conditions. When the network searches for a mobile, it applies the appropriate profile. The profiles could either be created by the network based on past history or be given by the users. In either case, the issue of mobiles' privacy level as a tradeoff for search efficiency will be explored. The project goals are to design efficient search strategies for given profiles, optimize the consumption of resources, and construct profiles that best predict the whereabouts of mobiles while maintaining some privacy requirements.A comprehensive solution for location management of mobile information (or users) in wireless networks is one of the major challenges for such networks for which advances in systems will not suffice to accommodate future demands and there will be a great need for advances in algorithms and implementations. Wireless systems that can answer sophisticated queries to find mobile information will benefit the networks and their users in times of emergency and peace. The developed search techniques can be beneficial to some Internet search engines when there is some uncertainty about where to find answers to queries. The project puts emphasis on the privacy preserving issue which is a paramount concern for mobile users.

该项目提出了新的算法和组合优化研究，目标是开发有效的搜索引擎，用于在当前和未来的无线网络中使用移动目录的新范式定位移动信息（手机）。移动目录由反映在各种条件下关于移动设备位置的特定和统计知识的配置文件组成。当网络搜索移动设备时，它应用适当的配置文件。这些配置文件可以由网络根据过去的历史创建，也可以由用户提供。在任何一种情况下，手机的隐私水平作为搜索效率的权衡问题将被探讨。该项目的目标是为给定的配置文件设计有效的搜索策略，优化资源消耗，并构建最能预测手机位置的配置文件，同时保持一些隐私要求。无线网络中移动信息（或用户）位置管理的综合解决方案是此类网络的主要挑战之一，因为系统的进步将不足以满足未来的需求，因此非常需要算法和实现的进步。在紧急情况和和平时期，能够回答查找移动信息的复杂查询的无线系统将使网络及其用户受益。开发的搜索技术可以帮助一些互联网搜索引擎在不确定的情况下找到查询的答案。该项目强调隐私保护问题，这是移动用户最关心的问题。
