Effective Community Search over Large Spatial Graphs
Summary: Introduces spatial-aware community search (SAC) on large spatial graphs, enforcing both density and geographic proximity. Presents exact SAC solutions for a query vertex and three scalable approximations; experiments show SACs are more spatially compact and outperform standard CS methods.
