10 Year VLDB Award
OOur 1992 VLDB  paper is the recipient of the 10-year VLDB award.
 Here is the citation from the VLDB award committee:

Your visionary paper -- the first on this topic at any major database conference -- set the stage for subsequent work in mobile databases, and is especially relevant today, with our increasingly mobile lifestyle, the explosion in the use of mobile devices (i-mode phones, PDAs, and others) and the corresponding demand from users for location-aware services.
