Abstract. An algorithm for ranking spatial objects according to increasing distance from a query object is introduced and analyzed. The algorithm makes use of a hierarchical spatia...
Georeferenced information is growing every day, and geographical information systems are becoming crucial in many decision processes. As a consequence, extracting knowledge from G...
Moving object databases store and process data for objects that change location frequently. Materialized views maintained over time must be updated to reflect changes due to the m...
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...
