Close pair queries in moving object databases
Databases of moving objects are important for air traffic control, ground traffic, and battlefield configurations. We introduce the (historical and spatial) range close-pair query...

Improving the R*-tree with outlier handling techniques
The R*-tree, as a state-of-the-art spatial index, has already found its way into commercial systems like Oracle. In this paper, we aim at improving query performance of the R*tree...

Use of rational numbers in the design of robust geometric primitives for three-dimensional spatial database systems
A necessary step in the implementation of three-dimensional spatial data types for spatial database systems and GIS is the development of robust geometric primitives. The authors ...

ASPEN: an adaptive spatial peer-to-peer network
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly managing very large sets of data and hence a centralized data repository may not always provide the most scalable solution. H...

Dimension-refined topological predicates
Topological predicates, as derived from the 9-intersection model, have been widely recognized in GIS, spatial database systems, and many other geo-related disciplines. They are ba...

Shapes based trajectory queries for moving objects
An interesting issue in moving objects databases is to find similar trajectories of moving objects. Previous work on this topic focuses on movement patterns (trajectories with tim...

Two ellipse-based pruning methods for group nearest neighbor queries
Group nearest neighbor (GNN) queries are a relatively new type of operations in spatial database applications. Different from a traditional kNN query which specifies a single quer...

Adaptive nearest neighbor queries in travel time networks
Nearest neighbor (NN) searches represent an important class of queries in geographic information systems (GIS). Most nearest neighbor algorithms rely on static distance informatio...

Contraflow network reconfiguration for evacuation planning: a summary of results
Contraflow, or lane reversal, is a way of increasing outbound capacity of a real network by reversing the direction of inbound roads during evacuations. The contraflow is consider...
