Given a query point and a collection of spatial features, a multi-type nearest neighbor (MTNN) query finds the shortest tour for the query point such that only one instance of eac...
Situational awareness (SA) applications monitor the real world and the entities therein to support tasks such as rapid decision-making, reasoning, and analysis. Raw input about un...

Location information gathered from a variety of sources in the form of sensor data, video streams, human observations, and so on, is often imprecise and uncertain and needs to be ...

Geography Markup Language (GML) is an XML-based language for the markup, storage, and exchange of geospatial data. It provides a rich geospatial vocabulary and allows flexible doc...
We present a novel method for the automatic generalization of land cover maps. A land cover map is composed of areas that collectively form a tessellation of the plane and each ar...
Remotely sensed data, in particular satellite imagery, play many important roles in environmental applications and models. In particular applications that study (rapid) changes in...
Moving point object data can be analyzed through the discovery of patterns. We consider the computational efficiency of computing two of the most basic spatio-temporal patterns in...
Creating complex spatio?temporal simulation models is a hot issue in the area of spatio?temporal databases [7]. While existing Moving Object Simulators (MOSs) address different ph...
We give two efficient on-line algorithms to simplify weighted graphs by eliminating degree-two vertices. Our algorithms are on-line -- they react to updates on the data, keeping t...

This paper presents a query optimizer module based on cost estimation that chooses the best filtering step algorithm to perform a specific spatial join operation. A set of express...
