One of the most important operations in spatial access needed systems are spatial joins. Using for processing such operations R-tree like structures is intensively studies now. Th...
Two new spatial join operations, distance join and distance semijoin, are introduced where the join output is ordered by the distance betweenthe spatialattribute values ofthe join...
The result of a distance join operation on two sets of objects R, S on a spatial network G is a set P of object pairs <p, q>, p R, q S such that the distance of an object ...
The top-k similarity joins have been extensively studied and used
in a wide spectrum of applications such as information retrieval, decision
making, spatial data analysis and dat...
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 ...
