We consider spatial databases in the plane that can be defined by polynomial constraint formulas. Motivated by applications in geographic information systems, we investigate line...
Topological relationships between spatial objects represent important knowledge that users of geographic information systems expect to retrieve from a spatial database. A di cult t...

In this paper, we study a novel form of continuous nearest neighbor queries in the presence of obstacles, namely continuous obstructed nearest neighbor (CONN) search. It considers...
In this paper we discuss two data models for spatial database systems: the linear data model and the topological data model. Both can be used to model a wide range of applications....
Background: Modern developmental biology relies heavily on the analysis of embryonic gene expression patterns. Investigators manually inspect hundreds or thousands of expression p...
