The K-Nearest Neighbor search (kNN) problem has been investigated extensively in the past due to its broad range of applications. In this paper we study this problem in the contex...
Location-based services are increasingly popular and it is a key challenge to efficiently support query processing. We present a novel design to process large numbers of location...
Abstract. Distributed moving object database servers are a feasible solution to the scalability problem of centralized database systems. In this paper we propose a distributed inde...
—In reality, spatial objects (e.g., hotels) not only have spatial locations but also have quality attributes (e.g., price, star). An object p is said to dominate another one p , ...
Efficient processing of distance-based queries (DBQs) is of great importance in spatial databases due to the wide area of applications that may address such queries. The most repr...
