ABSTRACT
In order to handle spatial data efficiently, as required in computer aided design and geo-data applications, a database system needs an index mechanism that will help it retrieve data items quickly according to their spatial locations However, traditional indexing methods are not well suited to data objects of non-zero size located m multi-dimensional spaces In this paper we describe a dynamic index structure called an R-tree which meets this need, and give algorithms for searching and updating it. We present the results of a series of tests which indicate that the structure performs well, and conclude that it is useful for current database systems in spatial applications

Temporally enhanced network-constrained (TENC) R-tree
MobiGIS '16: Proceedings of the 5th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Mobile Geographic Information SystemsThis paper describes a new Network-constrained Moving objects indexing structure, which extends the state-of-the-art for this kind of data. The indexing structure we propose is called Temporally Enhanced Network-Constrained R-tree (TENC R-tree), which ...
Clustered Sorting R-Tree: An Index for Multi-Dimensional Spatial Objects
ICNC '08: Proceedings of the 2008 Fourth International Conference on Natural Computation - Volume 06We propose new R-tree construction techniques (CSR-tree) for spatial databases. The main ideal of this algorithm is to make the spatial objects that near to each other in spatial space in nearest leaf nodes, and to reduce the overlap among the spatial ...
