PDAs, cellular phones and other mobile devices are now capable of supporting complex data manipulation operations. Here, we focus on ad-hoc spatial joins of datasets residing in m...
The Partitioned Based Spatial-Merge Join (PBSM) of Patel and DeWitt and the Size Separation Spatial Join (S3 J) of Koudas and Sevcik are considered to be among the most efficient ...
This paper presents an innovative partitionbased time join strategy for temporal databases where time is represented by time intervals. The proposed method maps time intervals to ...
Probabilistic data have recently become popular in applications such as scientific and geospatial databases. For images and other spatial datasets, probabilistic values can capture...
Spatial database operations are typically performed in two steps. In the filtering step, indexes and the minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of the objects are used to quickly dete...
