Recently, the location-based service for moving customers is becoming one of the most important service in mobile communication area. For moving object applications, there are lots of update operations and such update loads are concentrated on some particular area unevenly. Range queries, whose range can be window or circular, are the most essential query types in LBS. We need to distinguish completely contained cells from partially contained cells in those range queries. Also, it is necessary to consider temporal dimension to filter out qualifying objects correctly. In this paper, we adopt two-level index structures with fixed grid file structures in the second level, which are designed to minimize update operations. We propose a spatial ceil filtering method using VP filtering and a combined spatio-temporal filtering method using time gone concepts. Some experimental results are shown for various window queries and circular queries with different filtering combinations to show the performance tradeoffs of the proposed methods.

Location-Based Services(LBS) give rise to location-dependent queries of which results depend on the positions of moving objects. Because positions of moving objects change continuously, indexes of moving object must perform update operations frequently for keeping the changed position information. Existing spatial index (Grid File, R-Tree, KDB-tree etc.) proposed as index structure to search static data effectively. There are not suitable for index technique of moving object database that position data is changed continuously. In this paper, I propose a dynamic hashing index that insertion/delete costs are low. The dynamic hashing structure is that apply dynamic hashing techniques to combine a hash and a tree to a spatial index. The results of my extensive experiments show the dynamic hashing index outperforms the $R^$ $R^*$-tree and the fixed grid.

In this paper, we are going to develop a newly designed indexing scheme which is compatible to manage the moving objects and propose a cost model of the scheme. We propose a dynamic hashing index that insertion/delete costs are low. The dynamic hashing structure is that apply dynamic hashing techniques to combine a hash and a tree to a spatial index. We analyzed the dynamic index structure and the cost model by the frequent position update of moving objects and verified through a performance assessment experiment. The results of our extensive experiments show that the newly proposed indexing schemes(Dynamic Hashing Index) are much more efficient than the traditional the fixed grid and R-tree.

Moving objects database systems manage a set of moving objects which changes its locations and directions continuously. The traditional spatial indexing scheme is not suitable for the moving objects because it aimed to manage static spatial data. Because the location of moving object changes continuously, there is problem that expense that the existent spatial index structure reconstructs index dynamically is overladen. In this paper, we analyzed the insertion/deletion costs for processing the movement of objects. The results of our extensive experiments show that the Dynamic Hashing Index outperforms the original R-tree and the fixed grid typically by a big margin.

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.

최근 무선/이동 통신 기술과 GPS 기술의 발달은 휴대폰을 소지하고 이동하는 사람이나 GPS 수신기를 탑재한 차량과 같은 이동객체의 위치 정보와 관련된 서비스의 제공을 가능하게 하였다. 이러한 환경에서 연속적으로 변경되는 이동객체의 위치 정보는 데이터베이스에 빈번한 갱신 연산을 요구하게 되고, 이는 전체 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 원인이 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 R-Tree와 같은 공간색인 구조를 확장하여 갱신 효율을 높이기 위한 연구가 진행되어 왔지만, 시스템의 전체 성능은 오히려 저하되는 문제를 가져왔다. 이 논문에서는 이동객체의 질의 처리 성능뿐만 아니라 객체의 빈번한 위치 갱신을 효율적으로 처리할 수 있는 방법으로 고정 그리드와 R-Tree를 혼합한 형태의 색인 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 색인 기법은 R-Tree에서 색인의 재조직화로 인해 갱신 성능이 저하되는 문제를 해결하기 위하여 셀 기반 색인 기법인 고정 그리드를 이용하여 이동객체의 위치 정보를 저장하고, 고정 그리드에서 객체의 편중 분포로 인한 오버플로 문제를 처리하기 위하여 오버플로가 발생한 각각의 셀들을 R-Tree로 관리한다. 또한, 객체의 밀도가 낮은 셀들을 하나의 버켓으로 공유하여 관리함으로써 저장 공간을 효율적으로 활용한다. 제안된 방법을 다양한 평가 요소를 통해 실험한 결과, 기존의 R-Tree보다 뛰어난 갱신 성능을 보였으며, 질의 처리에 대해서도 성능이 향상되었음을 보였다.
