To realize location-based services, it is essential to handle the extreme situation that must cope with a very large volume, at least millions, of moving items. In this paper, we describe a location information system prototype of GALIS, which is a cluster-based scalable distributed computing system architecture which consists of multiple data processors, each dedicated to keeping records relevant to a different geographical zone and a different time zone. The proposed system contains all of the major computing nodes of GALIS architecture and is developed as a middleware on top of commercial mainmemory database engines and spatial database engines, for short-term data and long-term data processing, respectively. To show the usefulness of our system, some experimental results showing clear advantages of distributed computing are also explained.
