Recently, as growing of interest for LBS(location-based services) techniques, lots of works on moving objects that continuously change their information over time, have been performed briskly. Also, researches for NN(nearest neighbor) query which has often been used in LBS, are progressed variously However, the results of conventional NN Query processing techniques may be invalidated as the query and data objects move. Therefore, they are usually meaningless in moving object management system such as LBS. To solve these problems, in this paper we propose a new nearest neighbor query processing technique, called CTNN, which is possible to meet accurate and continuous query processing for moving objects. Our techniques include an Approximate CTNN(ACTNN) technique, which has quick response time, and an Exact CTNN(ECTNN) technique, which makes it possible to search nearest neighbor objects accurately. In order to evaluate the proposed techniques, we experimented with various datasets. Experimental results showed that the ECTNN technique has high accuracy, but has a little low performance for response time. Also the ACTNN technique has low accuracy comparing with the ECTNN, but has quick response time The proposed techniques can be applied to navigation system, traffic control system, distribution information system, etc., and specially are most suitable when both data and query are moving objects and when we already know their trajectory.

시간에 따라 공간적 위치가 연속적으로 변하는 객체를 이동객체라 한다. 이동객체에 대한 최근접 질의는 시간에 따라 거리도 달라지게 됨으로써 기존의 방법을 그대로 이용하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 이동객체에 대한 최근접 질의를 3D R-tree를 이용한 최근접 탐색방법에 시간적 요소를 추가하여 처리하였다. 또, 3D R-tree를 구성하는 노드의 크기에 따른 사장공간(Dead Space)이 최근접 질의에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 실험결과에 따르면 이동객체를 하나의 노드에 저장하면 사장공간이 증가하여 불필요한 노드를 접근함으로써 성능이 떨어지고 여러 개로 분할하여 저장하게 되면 색인의 크기가 커짐으로써 질의 처리 성능이 떨어지게 된다. 따라서, 이동객체에 대한 적절한 분할 및 병합 정책이 필요하다는 것을 알 수 있다.

Recently, various methods have been proposed to process k-NN (k-Nearest Neighbors) queries efficiently. However the previous methods have problems that they access additional cells unnecessarily and spend the high computation cost to find the nearest cells. In this paper, to overcome the problems, we propose a new method to process k-NN queries using the patterns of the distance relationship between the cells in a grid. The patterns are composed of the relative coordinates of cells sorted by the distance from certain points. Since the proposed method finds the nearest cells to process k-NN queries with traversing the patterns sequentially, it saves the computation cost. It is shown through the various experiments that out proposed method is much better than the existing method, CPM, in terms of the query processing time and the storage overhead.

Location based services (LBSs) have drawn huge attention as the growing number mobile devices and wireless technology demand more pervasive information access. In LBSs, Constraint nearest neighbor queries are one of the important queries of human to fulfill his desired quickly through wireless technology. We propose new query processing of constrained nearest neighbor query on the air to support mobile clients which demand optimal uses of wireless broadcast channel and using minimum battery power of client. First we proposed NN query processing with constrained region and then explain the novel NN query processing with various types of constraints. We have proposed novel algorithms to support Constrained Nearest Neighbor queries on the air based on Distributed Spatial Index and Bitmap-based Spatial Index.

Recently, the query processing algorithm in spatial network database (SNDB) has attracted many interests. However, there is little research on route-based query processing algorithm in SNDB. Since the moving objects moves only in spatial networks, the route-based algorithm is very useful for LBS and Telematics applications. In this paper, we analyze In-Route Nearest Neighbor (IRNN) query, which is an typical one of route-based queries, and propose a new IRNN query processing algorithm with time constraint. In addition, we show from our performance analysis that our IRNN query processing algorithm with time constraint is better on retrieval performance than the existing IRNN query processing one.

Recently, the query processing algorithm in the field of spatial network database(SNDB) has been attracted by many Interests. But, there is little research on route-based queries. Since the moving objects move only in spatial networks, the efficient route-based query processing algorithms, like in-route nearest neighbor(IRNN), are essential for Location-based Service(LBS) and Telematics application. However, the existing IRNN query processing algorithm has a problem that it does not consider traffic jams in the road network. In this thesis, we propose an IRNN query processing algorithm which considers space restriction. Finally, we show that space-constrained IRNN query processing algorithm is efficient compared with the existing IRNN algorithm.

최근접 질의(nearest neighbor query)는 멀티미디어 데이터베이스에서 주어진 질의 객체와 가장 유사한 객체를 찾기 위한 매우 중요한 연산으로 사용된다. 대부분의 최근접 질의 처리 기법들은 객체의 효과적인 인덱싱을 위하여 다차원 인덱스(multidimensional index)를 사용한다. 그러나 N차원 시각형 혹은 원을 사용하여 객체 클러스터의 캡슐을 표현하는 기존의 다차원 인덱스들은 차원 수가 높아짐에 따라 검색 성능이 크게 떨어진다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하는 새로운 인덱스 구조를 제시하고, 이를 이용하는 최근접 질의 처리 방안을 제안한다. 또한, 다양한 실험에 의한 성능 평가를 통하여 제안된 기법의 우수성을 검증한다.

Among spatial queries handled in spatial database systems, nearest neighbor queries to find the nearest spatial object from the given locaion occur frequently. The number of searched nodes in an index must be minimized in order to increase the performance of nearest neighbor queries. An Existing approach considered only the processing of an nearest neighbor query in a two-dimensional search space and could not optimize the number of searched nodes accurately. In this paper, we propose the optimal search distance and prove its properties. The proposed optimal search distance is the measurement of a new search distance for accurately selecting the nodes which will be searched in processing nearest neighbor queries. We present an algorithm for processing the nearest neighbor query by applying the optimal search distance to R-trees and prove that the result of query processing is correcter than the existing approach.

멀티미디어 데이터베이스에서 k-최근접 질의는 가장 일반적이며, 비공간 검색 조건이 포함된 경우가 많다. 현재까지 이러한 질의를 위한 여러 기법 중에서 Hjaltason과 Samet이 제안한 점증적 최근접 알고리즘에 가장 유용하다고 알려져 있다. 질의 처리를 위해 상위 연산자가 k보다 많은 객체를 요구할 때, 이 알고리즘은 처음부터 질의를 재실행하지 않고 다음 객체를 전달할 수 있기 때문이다. 그런데, 이 알고리즘에서 사용하는 R-트리는 결국에는 비공간 검색조건을 만족시키지 않을 투플 후보들을 부분적으로 제거할 수가 없기 때문에 비효율적이다. 본 논문에서 우리는 이 알고리즘을 보완한 RS-트리 기반 점증적 최근접 알고리즘을 제안한다. RS-트리는 R-트리와, 그 보조 트리로서 계층적 시스니쳐 파일을 기반으로 하는 S-트리로 구성된다. S-트리는 R-트리를 탐색하는 과정에서 많은 불필요한 투플을 제거하는 역할을 수행한다. 본 논문에서는 실험을 통해 RS-트리가 Hjaltason과 Samet의 알고리즘의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 보인다.

최근 LBS(location-based service) 및 텔레매틱스(telematics) 응용의 효과적인 지원을 위해, 이상적인 유클리디언(Euclidean) 공간 대신, 실제 도로나 철도와 같은 공간 네트워크(network)를 고려한 연구가 활발하게 수행중이다. 본 논문에서는 공간 네트워크를 고려한 기존 k-최근접 질의 처리 알고리즘의 문제점을 제시하고, 공간 네트워크 데이터베이스에 보다 효율적인 새로운 k-최근접 질의 처리 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 질의처리 알고리즘은 순서정보 및 Materialization 기법에 근거하며 기존 방법의 검색 성능을 향상시킨 방법이다. 마지막으로 제안하는 k-최근접 알고리즘을 기존의 알고리즘과 성능 비교를 수행한다.
