The popularity of mobile social networking services (mSNSs) is propelling more and more businesses, especially those in retailing and marketing, into mobile and location-based for...
A moving region whose location and extend change over time can imply topological changes such as region split and hole formation. To study this phenomenon is useful in many applic...
GPS devices allow recording the movement track of the moving object they are attached to. This data typically consists of a stream of spatio-temporal (x,y,t) points. For applicati...
The impossibility of current spatial database systems and GIS to handle spatial vagueness and imprecision has been recognized as an important problem in the spatial database domai...
Abstract. The proliferation of mobile and pervasive computing devices has brought energy constraints into the limelight. Energy-conscious design is important at all levels of syste...

One important class of spatial database queries is the class of topological queries, that is, queries invariant under homeomorphisms. Westudy topological queries expressible in th...
The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the characteristics that distinguish spatial databases systems from traditional ones. Hereto, we give an overview of some well-kno...
This paper reviews the data mining methods that are combined with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for carrying out spatial analysis of geographic data. We will first look at d...
The recent advances in database technology have enabled the development of a new generation of spatial databases, where the DBMS is able to manage spatial and non-spatial data typ...
R-tree data structures are widely used in spatial databases to store, manage and manipulate spatial information. As the data volume of such databases is typically very large, the q...
