Bücher von Yannis Theodoridis

The refereed proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Spatial and Temporal Databases, SSTD 2003, held at Santorini Island, Greece in July 2003.The 28 revised full papers presented together with a keynote paper were carefully reviewed and selected from 105 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on access methods, advanced query processing, data mining and data warehousing, distance-based queries, mobility and moving points management, modeling and languages, similarity processing, systems and implementation issues.

This text integrates different mobility data handling processes, from database management to multi-dimensional analysis and mining, into a unified presentation driven by the spectrum of requirements raised by real-world applications.

Introduces the basic material on storage media, including magnetic disks, RAID systems and tertiary storage such as optical disk and tapes. This book also introduces typical access methods (B+ trees, dynamic hash files and secondary key retrieval). It discusses advances in indexing and access methods for particular database applications.

Space support in databases poses new challenges in every part of a database management system & the capability of spatial support in the physical layer is considered very important.
