Exploiting Information-Centric Networking to Federate Spatial Databases
Andrea Detti, Giulio Rossi, Nicola Bléfari-Melazzi · IEEE Access · 2019
This paper explores the methodologies, challenges, and expected advantages related to the use of the information-centric network (ICN) technology for federating spatial databases. ICN services allow simplifying the design of federation procedures, improving their performance, and providing so-called data-centric security. In this work, we present an architecture that is able to federate spatial databases and evaluate its performance using a real data set coming from OpenStreetMap within a heterogeneous federation formed by MongoDB and CouchBase spatial database systems.
