Spatial information is information bound to spatial entities such as regions. It is based on the spatial structure alone (the valley includes the field) or connects thematic predic...
Several techniques that compute the join between two spatial datasets have been proposed during the last decade. Among these methods, some consider existing indices for the joined...
Selectivity estimation of queries is an important and wellstudied problem in relational database systems. In this paper, we examine selectivity estimation in the context of Geogra...
Schema versioning provides a mechanism for handling change in the structure of database systems and has been investigated widely, both in the context of static and temporal databa...

The growing importance of spatial data has made it imperative that spatial operations be executed efficiently. The most expensive operation is the join for spatial databases. This...
Most Internet search engines are keyword-based. They are not efficient for the queries where geographical location is important, such as finding hotels within an area or close to ...
Much of the data that we encounter has a spatial (geographic locational) aspect yet this has not been readily exploited by traditional RDBMS. Over the past five years there has be...
The proliferation of mobile and pervasive computing devices has brought energy constraints into the limelight, together with performance considerations. Energy-conscious design is...

Several studies have focused on the efficient processing of simple spatial query types such as selections and spatial joins. Little work, however, has been done towards the optimiz...
One of the central questions of spatial reasoning research is whether the underlying processes are inherently visual or spatial. The article reports a dual-task experiment that was...
