extracting a 'smaller' graph from 'big' graph yogi 12-30-2005

hi,

i am working on a routing module of a navigation system on pocket pc.I
found Dijkstra algorithm the best for calculating the shortest path
between two nodes (start and end points).Since pocket pc has a limited
memory space and graph size may go to n size depending upon the
geographical boundary i am considering.So i need to restrict the data
section from the start to the end point so that graph size would become
smaller and can be accomodated in the available memory .In a way i need
to extract a smaller graph logically from a bigger graph based upon
start and end points so that the scope of the computation is limited.

I need to know to what extent this can happen and what methodologies i
can opt while segmenting the graph and also need to know if there is
any specific term for "graph segmentation".


would be keenly waiting for your guidance.

Thanks

Yogi

Could you consider pruning the nodes based on some form of quadtree or
other spatial index structure, to limit the graph to the nodes that lie
within some corridor between and around your start and end points?
