The latest Global Positioning System, wireless communications technology and Location-Based Service bring about the rapid developments of telematics application areas. In the moving object database for telematics, it is very important to deal with database queries related to the real time current positions of a moving objects and the valid tine of the query results as well. In this paper, we propose how to get not only the current result of query but also the valid time and the result after the valid time when a query point and objects are moving simultaneously. We would like to predict the valid time by formula because the current results will be incorrect due to the characteristic of the continuous movements of the moving objects and the future results can not be calculated by iterative computations.

This paper proposes an efficient path finding scheme capable of searching the paths to k static objects from a given query point, aiming at both improving the legacy k-nearest neighbor search and making it easily applicable to the road network environment. To the end of improving the speed of finding one-to-many paths, the modified A* obviates the duplicated part of node scans involved in the multiple executions of a one-to-one path finding algorithm. Additionally, the cost to the each object found in this step makes it possible to finalize the k objects according to the network distance from the candidate set as well as to order them by the path cost. Experiment results show that the proposed scheme has the accuracy of around 100% and improves the search speed by $1.3{\sim}3.0$ times of k-nearest neighbor searches, compared with INE, post-Dijkstra, and $na{\ddot{i}}ve$ method.

Various kind of disasters happens in our society. Most of them require immediate treatment to save life or to protect valuable products. When an accident happens in a place, it is reported to the headquarter of emergency measures system. According to the nature of accident several treatments orders are transmitted to the related authorities. In this paper, we introduce an intelligent emergency measures system that uses trigger mechanism of active databases. The system responds to various events spontaneously without intervention of mankind by triggering proper rules. The most important part of an action in the system is the capability of searching places to apply adequate treatments quickly. We have developed a new method for range queries and nearest neighbor queries which utilize the z-ordering technique to get fast responses. Those new methods are further extended to handle more realistic actual distance of road among positions.

In this paper, we address an efficient processing scheme for k-nearest neighbor queries to retrieve k static objects in road network databases. Existing methods cannot expect a query processing speed-up by index structures in road network databases, since it is impossible to build an index by the network distance, which cannot meet the triangular inequality requirement, essential for index creation, but only possible in a totally ordered set. Thus, these previous methods suffer from a serious performance degradation in query processing. Another method using pre-computed network distances also suffers from a serious storage overhead to maintain a huge amount of pre-computed network distances. To solve these performance and storage problems at the same time, this paper proposes a novel approach that creates an index for moving objects by approximating their network distances and efficiently processes k-nearest neighbor queries by means of the approximate index. For this approach, we proposed a systematic way of mapping each moving object on a road network into the corresponding absolute position in the m-dimensional space. To meet the triangular inequality this paper proposes a new notion of average network distance, and uses FastMap to map moving objects to their corresponding points in the m-dimensional space. After then, we present an approximate indexing algorithm to build an R*-tree, a multidimensional index, on the m-dimensional points of moving objects. The proposed scheme presents a query processing algorithm capable of efficiently evaluating k-nearest neighbor queries by finding k-nearest points (i.e., k-nearest moving objects) from the m-dimensional index. Finally, a variety of extensive experiments verifies the performance enhancement of the proposed approach by performing especially for the real-life road network databases.

최근 모바일 사용자의 안전한 위치기반 서비스의 사용을 위한 아웃소싱 데이터베이스에서 객체 및 사용자의 위치 정보를 보호하는 연구가 위치 데이터를 보호하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 기존 연구는 불필요한 객체 정보를 요구하기 때문에, 높은 질의 처리 시간을 지니는 단점을 지닌다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해, 본 논문에서는 기준 POI를 중심으로 객체의 방향성 정보와 변환된 거리를 이용하여, 사용자와 객체의 정보를 보호하는 k-최근접 질의처리 알고리즘을 제안한다.

In this paper, we propose a continuous k-nearest neighborhood query processing method for updating the query results in real-time over mobile peer-to-peer environments. The proposed method disseminates a monitoring region to efficiently monitor the k-nearest neighbor peers. The Monitoring Region is created to assure at least k peers as the result of the query within the time range using the vector of neighbor peers. In the propose method, the monitoring region is valid for a long time because it is calculated by the vector of neighbor peers of the query peer. Therefore, the proposed method decreases the cost of re-processing by monitoring region invalidation. In order to show the superiority of the proposed method, we compare it with the previous schemes through performance evaluation.

Because of the rapid growth of mobile communication and wireless communication, Location-based services are handled in many applications. So, the management and analysis of spatio-temporal data are a hot issue in database research. Index structure and query processing of such contents are very important for these applications. This paper addressees algorithms that make index structure by using Douglas-Peucker Algorithm and process nearest neighbor search query efficiently on moving objects trajectories. We compare and analyze our algorithms by experiments. Our algorithms make small size of index structure and process the query more efficiently.

With growing interest in location-based service (LBS), there is increasing necessity for nearest neighbor (NN) search through query while the user is moving. NN search in such a dynamic environment has been performed through the repeated applicaton of the NN method to the search segment, but this increases search cost because of unnecessary redundant calculation. We propose slabbed continuous nearest neighbor (Slabbed_CNN) search, which is a new method that searches CNN in the search segment while moving, Slabbed_CNN reduces calculation costs and provides faster services than existing CNN by reducing the search area and calculation cost of the existing CNN method through reducing the search segment using slabs.

Distance browsing queries, namely k-nearest neighbor queries, are the most important queries in spatial database applications, e.g., Geographic Information Systems(GISs). Recently, GIS applications trends to extend themselves toward wide multi-user environments such as the Web. Since many techniques for such queries, where Hjaltason and Samet's algorithm is the most efficient one, were optimized for only one query, we need to complement them suitable for multi-user environments. It can be a good approach that we store many individual query results in a cache, i.e., query result caching and reuse them in evaluating incoming queries, j.e., query result matching. In this paper, we propose a complementary Hjaltason and Samet's algerian capable of reusing previous query results in a cache for answering distance browsing queries in multi-user GIS environments. Our experimental results conform the efficiency of our approach.

본 논문에서는 도로 네트워크 데이터베이스에서 k-최근접 이웃 질의를 효율적으로 처리하기 위한 방안에 대하여 논의한다. 네트워크 거리는 삼각형 부등식 성질(triangular inequality property)을 만족하지 못하므로 기존의 기법들은 네트워크 거리를 기반으로 하는 인덱스를 사용하지 않았다. 이러한 기법들은 질의 처리 시 심각한 성능 저하의 문제를 가진다. 사전 계산된 네트워크 거리를 이용하는 또 다른 기법은 저장 공간의 오버헤드가 크다는 문제를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 두 가지 문제점들을 동시에 해결하기 위하여 객체들 간의 네트워크 거리를 근사하여 객체들에 대한 인덱스를 구축하고, 이를 이용하여 k-최근접 이웃 질의를 처리하는 새로운 기법을 제안한다. 실제 도로 네트워크를 이용한 정확도 검증 실험을 통하여 제안된 기법의 우수성을 규명한다.
