TRAX—Real-World Tracking of Moving Objects

Summary: TRAX tracks moving objects with guaranteed positional accuracy rather than exact, continuous locations, using low-cost updates and communication in real-world settings. It exposes query–update–accuracy trade-offs and enables perfect-recall processing over uncertain positions. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
