— Current database systems are tailored to efficiently evaluate Boolean expressions which are typically used as selection conditions to restrict the result set. We propose to ad...
Reasoning about space has been a considerable field of study both in Artificial Intelligence and in spatial information theory. Many applications benefit from the inference of ...
In spatial data mining, a common task is the discovery of spatial association rules from spatial databases. We propose a distributed system, named ARES that takes advantage of the ...
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....
