One of the most important types of query processing in spatial databases and geographic information systems is the spatial join, an operation that selects, from two relations, all...
Spatial joins are fundamental in spatial databases. Over the last decade, the primary focus of research has been on joins with the predicate “region intersection.” In modern da...
This papers deals with multiway spatial joins when (i) there is limited time for query processing and the goal is to retrieve the best possible solutions within this limit (ii) the...
Existing work on multiway spatial joins focuses on the retrieval of all exact solutions with no time limit for query processing. Depending on the query and data properties, however...
Several techniques that compute the join between two spatial datasets have been proposed during the last decade. Among these methods, some consider existing indices for the joined...
