Efficient evaluation of spatial queries is an important issue in spatial database. Among spatial operations, spatial join is very useful, intersection being the most common predic...
If you were told that some object A was perfectly (or somewhat, or not at all) in some direction (e.g., west, above-right) of some reference object B, where in space would you loo...
Creating complex spatio?temporal simulation models is a hot issue in the area of spatio?temporal databases [7]. While existing Moving Object Simulators (MOSs) address different ph...
Given a query point and a collection of spatial features, a multi-type nearest neighbor (MTNN) query finds the shortest tour for the query point such that only one instance of eac...
