Abstract
The web is undergoing a fundamental transformation: it is becoming mobile and is acquiring a spatial dimension. Thus, the web is increasingly being used from mobile devices, notably smartphones, that can be geo-positioned using GPS or technologies that exploit wireless communication networks. In addition, web content is being geo-tagged. This transformation calls for new, spatio-textual query functionality. The research community is hard at work enabling efficient support for such functionality.
