The emergence of mobile computing provides the ability to access information at any time and place. The rapidly expanding technology of mobile communication will give mobile users capability of accessing information from anywhere and any time. The wireless technology has made it possible to achieve continuous connectivity in mobile environment. When the query is specified as continuous, the requesting mobile user can obtain continuously changing result. In order to provide accurate and timely outcome to requesting mobile user, the locations of moving object has to be closely monitored. Within the last decade, the continuous development of mobile technology has motivated an intense research in mobile data services. Among these services, location-based services and location-dependant queries have attracted a lot of attention from the software industry as well as from researchers. The objective of paper is to discuss the issues related to location aware query processing in mobile databases.
