abstract = {Mobile devices are increasingly equipped with hardware and software services allowing them to determine their locations, but support for building location-aware applications remains rudimentary. This paper proposes tracks of location coordinates as a high-level abstraction for a new class of mobile applications including ride sharing, location-based collaboration, and health monitoring. Each track is a sequence of entries recording a person’s time, location, and application specific data. StarTrack provides applications with a comprehensive set of operations for recording, comparing, clustering and querying tracks. StarTrack can efficiently operate on thousands of tracks.},
