In order to guarantee efficient query processing together with industrial strength, spatial index structures have to be integrated into fully-fledged object-relational database ma...

Modern database applications including computer-aided design, multimedia information systems, medical imaging, molecular biology, or geographical information systems impose new re...
Because moving objects usually moves on spatial networks, efficient trajectory index structures are required to gain good retrieval performance on their trajectories. However, ther...
We consider spatio-temporal databases supporting spatial objects with continuously changing position and extent, termed moving objects databases. We formally define a data model f...
In a spatial database, an object may extend arbitrarily in space. As a result, many spatial data structures e.g., the quadtree, the cell tree, the R+-tree represent an object by p...
