Abstract. The need for location-based services has motivated an important research effort in the efficient processing of location-dependent queries. Most of the existing approaches...
Abstract Advances in wireless sensor networks and positioning technologies enable new applications monitoring moving objects. Some of these applications, such as traffic managemen...
Apart from visualization tasks, three-dimensional (3D) data management features are not or only hardly available in current spatial database systems and Geographic Information Sys...
Current models for cardinal directions, such as north and northeast, are either point-based or region-based, but no models exist that apply equally, independent of the geometric d...
We show how model extensibility of object-oriented data management systems can be achieved through the combination of a highlevel core object data model and an architecture designe...
