One of the most important types of query processing in spatial databases and geographic information systems is the spatial join, an operation that selects, from two relations, all...
One of the most important operations in spatial access needed systems are spatial joins. Using for processing such operations R-tree like structures is intensively studies now. Th...
Several techniques that compute the join between two spatial datasets have been proposed during the last decade. Among these methods, some consider existing indices for the joined...
Existing work on multiway spatial joins focuses on the retrieval of all exact solutions with no time limit for query processing. Depending on the query and data properties, however...
We provide an evaluation of query execution plans (QEP) in the case of queries with one or two spatial joins. The QEPs assume R -tree indexed relations and use a common set of spat...
