Multi-level spatial aggregates are important for data mining in a variety of scientific and engineering applications, from analysis of weather data (aggregating temperature and p...
Traditional location-based services recommend nearest objects to the user by considering their spatial proximity. However, an object not only has its distance but also has its dir...
In recent years, there has been a large increase in the amount of spatial data obtained from remote sensing, GPS receivers, communication terminals and other domains. Data warehous...
We propose a general framework to index very large datasets of spatial data in a distributed system. Our proposal is built on the recently proposed Scalable Distributed Rtree (SD-...
