Modern database applications show a growing demand for efficient and dynamic management of intervals, particularly for temporal and spatial data or for constraint handling. Common...
The design of external index structures for one- and multidimensional extended objects is a long and well studied subject in basic database research. Today, more and more commercia...
Intervals represent a fundamental data type for temporal, scientific, and spatial databases where time stamps and point data are extended to time spans and range data, respectively...
Relational index structures, as for instance the Relational Interval Tree or the Linear Quadtree, support efficient processing of queries on top of existing object-relational datab...
