시간에 따라 연속적으로 위치가 변화하는 객체를 이동체라 한다. 기존의 R-Tree를 사용한 이동체 색인에 관한 연구에서는 현재 위치 질의 시 고비용의 연산이 요구되고, 시간축의 값이 증가하는 방향으로 보고되는 이동체의 위치데이터의 특징을 고려한 노드 분할 정책이 제안되지 않았다. 이 논문에서는 이동체의 현재 위치 및 과거 위치에 대한 색인 방법인 CPTR-Tree(Current Position and Trajectory R-Tree)를 제안한다. 특히, 제안 방법에서 이동체의 현재 위치에 대한 공간차원의 PMBR(Point MBR)을 유지함으로써, 현재 위치 질의 처리시 불필요한 노드 접근 횟수를 줄일 수 있어 성능향상을 할 수 있다. 그리고, 시간축의 값이 증가하는 형태로 보고되는 이동체 위치 데이터의 특징을 고려하여 시간축 분할시 SP(Split Parameter) 분할 방법을 제공함으로써 노드 공간 활용률을 높여 색인의 크기를 줄이고, 공간축 분할시 노드 겹침을 줄이는 동적 클리핑 분할 정책을 제시하여 이동체 과거 위치 검색 효율을 높인다.

최근 시공간 데이타에 대한 OLAP연산 효율을 증가시키기 위한 여러 가지 연구들이 행하여지고 있다. 이들 연구의 대부분은 다중트리구조에 기반하고 있다. 다중트리구조는 공간차원을 색인하기 위한 하나의 R-tree와 시간차원을 색인하기 위한 다수의 B-tree로 이루어져 있다. 하지만, 이러한 다중트리구조는 높은 유지비용과 불충분한 질의 처리 효율로 인해 현실적으로 시공간 OLAP연산에 적용하기에는 어려운 점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 근본적으로 개선하기 위한 접근 방법으로서 힐버트큐브(Hilbert Cube, H-Cube)를 제안하고 있다. H-Cube는 집계질의(aggregation query) 처리 효율을 높이기 위해 힐버트 곡선을 이용하여 셀들에게 완전순서(total-order)를 부여하고 있으며, 아울러 전통적인 누적합(prefix-sum) 기법을 함께 적용하고 있다. H-Cube는 적응적이며, 완전순서화되어 있으며, 또한 누적합을 이용한 셀 기반의 색인구조이다. 본 논문에서는 H-Cube의 성능 평가를 위해서 다양한 실험을 하였으며, 그 결과로서 유지비용과 질의 처리 효율성면 모두에서 다중트리구조보다 높은 성능 향상이 있음을 보인다.

It is possible to track the moving vehicle as well as to develop the location based services actively according to the progress of wireless telecommunication and GPS, to the spread of network, and to the miniaturization of cellular phone. To provide these location based services, it is necessary for an index technique to store and search too much moving object data rapidly. However the existing indices require a lot of costs to insert the data because they store every position data into the index directly. To solve this problem in this paper, we propose a buffer node operation and design a GU-tree(Group Update tree). The proposed buffer node method reduces the input cost effectively since the operation stores the moving object location data in a group, the buffer node as the unit of a non-leaf node. hnd then we confirm the effect of the buffer node operation which reduces the insert cost and increase the search performance in a time slice query from the experiment to compare the operation with some existing indices. The proposed tufter node operation would be useful in the environment to update locations frequently such as a transportation vehicle management and a tour-guide system.

RFID를 이용하는 물류 시스템에서 태그 객체의 위치 추적을 위해서는 태그 객체의 궤적을 모델링하고 효율적으로 검색하기 위한 색인 구성이 필수적이다. 태그 객체의 궤적은 리더의 인식 영역에 들어오고 나가는 두 점을 연결한 시공간 선분으로 표현할 수 있다. 그러나 태그 객체가 리더의 인식영역 밖으로 벗어나게 되면 태그 객체의 궤적을 표현 할 수 없으므로 위치 추적이 불가능하게 되는 문제를 가진다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 리더의 비 인식 영역에서 GPS를 이용한 태그 객체의 위치 추적을 병행할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 RFID 시스템과 LBS 시스템을 연동한 환경에서 태그 궤적을 표현하기 위한 위치 추적 시스템의 모델을 제시하고. 제시된 모델에서 태그 객체의 위치 추적을 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 색인 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 색인 구조는 태그 객체의 현재 위치뿐만 아니라 과거 궤적을 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 새로운 삽입 및 분할 알고리즘을 제안하여 노드가 차지하는 영역을 최소화한다.

Recently, due to the proliferation of mobile smart devices, the inovation of bigdata, which analyzes and processes massive data collected from various sensors implaned in smart devices, expands to LBSs. Many location prediction techniques for moving objects have been studied in literature. However, as the majority of studies perform location prediction which depends on specific applications, they hardly reflect the technical requirements of next-generation spatio-temporal information services. Therefore, this paper proposes the design of general-purpose distributed moving object prediction query processing framework that is capable of performing primitive and various types of queries effectively based on massive spatio-temporal data of moving objects in real-world space networks.

With the development of wireless network technology, Storing the location information of a spatiotemporal object was very necessary. Each spatiotemporal object has many unnecessariness location information, hence it is inefficient to search all trajectory information of spatiotemporal objects. In this paper, we propose an efficient method which increase searching efficiency. Using EMBR(Extend Minimun Bounding Rectangle), an LinearMarge split algorithm that minimizes the volume of MBRs is designed and simulated. Our experimental evaluation confirms the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed splitting policy.

For tracing tag locations, a trajectories should be modeled and indexed in radio frequency identification (RFID) systems. The trajectory of a tag can be represented as a line that connects two spatiotemporal locations captured when the tag enters and leaves the vicinity of a reader. If a tag enters but does not leave a reader, its trajectory is represented only as a point captured at entry and we should extend the region of a query to find the tag that remains in a reader. In this paper, we propose an interval data model of tag's trajectory in order to solve the problem. For the interval data model. we propose a new index scheme called the IR-tree(Interval R-tree) and algorithms of insert and split for processing query efficiently. We also evaluate the performance of the proposed index scheme and compare it with the previous indexes.

Trajectories of RFID tags can be modeled as a line, denoted by tag interval, captured by an RFID reader and indexed in a three-dimensional domain, with the axes being the tag identifier (TID), the location identifier (LID), and the time (TIME). Distribution of tag intervals in the domain space is an important factor for efficient processing of a query for tracing tags and is changed according to arranging coordinates of each domain. Particularly, the arrangement of LIDs in the domain has an effect on the performance of queries retrieving the traces of tags as times goes by because it provides the location information of tags. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the optimal ordering of LIDs in order to perform queries efficiently for retrieving tag intervals from the index. To do this, we propose LID proximity for reordering previously assigned LIDs to new LIDs and define the LID proximity function for storing tag intervals accessed together closely in index nodes when a query is processed. To determine the sequence of LIDs in the domain, we also propose a reordering scheme of LIDs based on LID proximity. Our experiments show that the proposed reordering scheme considerably improves the performance of Queries for tracing tag locations comparing with the previous method of assigning LIDs.

In mobile environments, the locations of moving objects such as vehicles, airplanes and users of wireless devices continuously change over time. For efficiently processing moving object information, the database system should be able to deal with large volume of data, and manage indexing efficiently. However, previous research on indexing method mainly focused on query performance, and did not pay attention to update operation for moving objects. In this paper, we propose a novel moving object indexing method, named ACAR-Tree. For processing efficiently frequently updating of moving object location information as well as query performance, the proposed method is based on fixed grid structure with auxiliary R-Tree. This hybrid structure is able to overcome the poor update performance of R-Tree which is caused by reorganizing of R-Tree. Also, the proposed method is able to efficiently deal with skewed-. or gaussian distribution of data using auxiliary R-Tree. The experimental results using various data size and distribution of data show that the proposed method has reduced the size of index and improve the update and query performance compared with R-Tree indexing method.

Recently, there have been various research efforts to develop strategies for accelerating OLAP operations on huge amounts of spatio-temporal data. Most of the work is based on multi-tree structures which consist of a single R-tree variant for spatial dimension and numerous B-trees for temporal dimension. The multi~tree based frameworks, however, are hardly applicable to spatio-temporal OLAP in practice, due mainly to high management cost and low query efficiency. To overcome the limitations of such multi-tree based frameworks, we propose a new approach called Hilbert Cube(H-Cube), which employs fractals in order to impose a total-order on cells. In addition, the H-Cube takes advantage of the traditional Prefix-sum approach to improve Query efficiency significantly. The H-Cube partitions an embedding space into a set of cells which are clustered on disk by Hilbert ordering, and then composes a cube by arranging the grid cells in a chronological order. The H-Cube refines cells adaptively to handle regional data skew, which may change its locations over time. The H-Cube is an adaptive, total-ordered and prefix-summed cube for spatio-temporal data warehouses. Our approach focuses on indexing dynamic point objects in static spatial dimensions. Through the extensive performance studies, we observed that The H-Cube consumed at most 20% of the space required by multi-tree based frameworks, and achieved higher query performance compared with multi-tree structures.
