This paper presents a query optimizer module based on cost estimation that chooses the best filtering step algorithm to perform a specific spatial join operation. A set of express...
For a spatial database management system, it is an important goal to minimize the I/O-cost of queries and other operations. Several page-replacement strategies have been proposed a...
The availability of indoor positioning renders it possible to deploy location-based services in indoor spaces. Many such services will benefit from the efficient support for k n...
