Search operations in databases require some special support at the physical level. This is true for conventional databases as well as for spatial databases, where typical search o...
Abstract Advances in wireless sensor networks and positioning technologies enable new applications monitoring moving objects. Some of these applications, such as traffic managemen...
In spatio-temporal applications, moving objects detect their locations via location-aware devices and update their locations continuously to the server. With the ubiquity and mass...

The M-tree is a paged, dynamically balanced metric access method that responds gracefully to the insertion of new objects. Like many spatial access methods, the M-tree's perfo...
Existing Database Management Systems (DBMSs) do not handle efficiently multi-dimensional data such as boxes, polygons, or even points in a multi-dimensional space. We examine acc...
Multidimensional access methods have shown high potential for significant performance improvements in various application domains. However, only few approaches have made their way...

The management and query processing of one dimensional intervals is a special case of extended object handling. One dimensional intervals play an important role in temporal databa...
Abstract: In order to achieve efficient execution plans for queries comprising userdefined data types and predicates, the database system has to be provided with appropriate index ...
We present an access method for set-valued attributes that is based on a multi-level extendible hashing scheme. This scheme avoids exponential directory growth for skewed data and...
