Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a system for facilitating hierarchical geographic naming. During operation, the system receives a service request comprising location information associated with a requesting device and determines a hierarchical name corresponding to the location information. The hierarchical name can include a plurality of name segments. A respective name segment of the plurality of name segments can correspond to a recursively subdivided grid of geographic grid referencing. The system then performs a recursive search using the hierarchical name for a service requested by the service request.
