Abstract | With the increasing popularity of mobile computing devices, the need to access information in mobile environments has also grown rapidly. In order to support such mobile information accesses, location-based services and mobile information systems often rely on location-aware data management mechanisms like location-aware caching, data dissemination or prefetching. As we explain in this paper, the location-awareness of such mechanisms is only useful, if the accessed information is location-dependent, i.e. if the probability with that a certain information object is accessed depends on the user’s location. Although the location-dependency of the accessed information is crucial for the efficiency of location-aware data management mechanisms and the benefit they can get out of their location-awareness, no metric to measure the location-dependency of information has been proposed so far. In this paper, we describe such a metric together with a second one for a further important characteristic of mobile information accesses, the so-called focus.
