Typical tree-based spatial index structures are divided into a data-partitioning index structure such as R-Tree and a space-partitioning index structure such as KD-Tree. In recent years, researches on hybrid index structures combining advantages of these index structures have been performed extensively. However, because the split boundary extension of the node to which a new spatial object is inserted may extend split boundaries of other neighbor nodes in existing researches, overlaps between nodes are increased and the query processing cost is raised. In this paper, we propose a hybrid index structure, called SQR-Tree that can support efficient processing of spatial queries to solve these problems. SQR-Tree is a combination of SQ-Tree(Spatial Quad- Tree) which is an extended Quad-Tree to process non-size spatial objects and R-Tree which actually stores spatial objects associated with each leaf node of SQ-Tree. Because each SQR-Tree node has an MBR containing sub-nodes, the split boundary of a node will be extended independently and overlaps between nodes can be reduced. In addition, a spatial object is inserted into R-Tree in each split data space and SQ-Tree is used to identify each split data space. Since only R-Trees of SQR-Tree in the query area are accessed to process a spatial query, query processing cost can be reduced. Finally, we proved superiority of SQR-Tree through experiments.

Because we can usually get many information through analyzing trajectories of moving objects on spatial networks, efficient trajectory index structures are required to achieve good retrieval performance on their trajectories. However, there has been little research on trajectory index structures for spatial networks such as FNR-tree and MON-tree. Also, because FNR-tree and MON-tree store the segment unit of moving objects, they can't support the trajectory of whole moving objects. In this paper, we propose an efficient trajectory index structures based on signatures on a spatial network, named SigMO-Tree. For this, we divide moving object data into spatial and temporal attributes, and design an index structure which supports not only range query but trajectory query by preserving the whole trajectory of moving objects. In addition, we divide user queries into trajectory query based on spatio-temporal area and similar-tralectory query, and propose query processing algorithms to support them. The algorithm uses a signature file in order to retrieve candidate trajectories efficiently Finally, we show from our performance analysis that our trajectory index structure outperforms the existing index structures like FNR-Tree and MON-Tree.

In this paper, we propose a new RDF index scheme considering the characteristics of large scale RDF data to improve the query processing performance. The proposed index scheme creates a S-O index for subjects and objects since the subjects and objects of RDF triples are used redundantly. In order to reduce the total size of the index, it constructs a P index for the relatively small number of predicates in RDF triples separately. If a query contains the predicate, we first searches the P index since its size is relatively smaller compared to the S-O index. Otherwise, we first searches the S-O index. It is shown through performance evaluation that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing scheme in terms of the query processing time.

A moving object has a special feature that it's spatial location, shape and size are changed as time goes. These changes of the object accompany the continuous movement that is called the trajectory. In this paper, we propose an index structure that users can retrieve the trajectory of a moving object with the access of a page. We also propose the multi-complex query that is a new query type for trajectory retrieval. In order to prove the excellence of our method, we compare and analyze the performance for query time and storage space through experiments in various environments. It is shown that our method outperforms the existing index structures when processing spatio-temporal trajectory queries on moving objects.

The combined query which consists of the region and trajectory query finds trajectories of moving objects which locate in a certain region. The trajectory query is very informant factor to determine query performance because it processes a point query continuously to find predecessors. This results in bad performance due to revisiting nodes in an index. This paper suggests an efficient method for the combined query based on the 3-dimensional R-tree which has good performance of the region query. The basic idea is that we define the least common search line which enables to search single path and a filtering method based on prediction without revisiting nodes.

As random access memory chip gets cheaper, it becomes affordable to realize main memory-based database systems. Consequently, reducing cache misses emerges as the most important issue in current main memory databases, in which CPU speeds have been increasing at 60% per year, compared to the memory speeds at 10% per you. In this paper, we design and implement a main-memory database system for real-time mobile GIS. Our system is composed of 5 modules： the interface manager provides the interface for PDA users； the memory data manager controls spatial and non-spatial data in main-memory using virtual memory techniques； the query manager processes spatial and non-spatial query : the index manager manages the MR-tree index for spatial data and the T-tree index for non-spatial index : the GIS server interface provides the interface with disk-based GIS. The MR-tree proposed propagates node splits upward only if one of the internal nodes on the insertion path has empty space. Thus, the internal nodes of the MR-tree are almost 100% full. Our experimental study shows that the two-dimensional MR-tree performs search up to 2.4 times faster than the ordinary R-tree. To use virtual memory techniques, the memory data manager uses page tables for spatial data, non- spatial data, T-tree and MR-tree. And, it uses indirect addressing techniques for fast reloading from disk.

There has been much interest in stream query processing. Various index techniques and advanced join techniques have been proposed to efficiently process data stream queries. Previous proposals support rapid and advanced response to the data stream queries. However, the amount of data stream is increasing and the data stream query processing needs more speedup than before. In this paper, we proposed novel query processing techniques for large number of incoming documents stream. We proposed Dissection Technique for efficient query processing in the data stream environment. We focused on the dissection technique in join query processing. Our technique shows efficient operation performance comparing with the other proposal in the data stream. Proposed technique is applied to the sensor network system and XML database.

Categorical range aggregation, which is conceptually equivalent to running a range aggregation query separately on multiple datasets, returns the query result on each dataset. The challenge is when the number of dataset is as large as hundreds or thousands, it takes a lot of computation time and I/O. In previous work, only a single dimension of the range restriction has been solved, and in practice, more applications are being used to calculate multiple range restriction statistics. We proposed MCRI-Tree, an index structure designed to solve multi-dimensional categorical range aggregation queries, which can utilize main memory to maximize the efficiency of CRA queries. Specifically, the MCRI-Tree answers any query in $O(nk^{n-1})$ I/Os (where n is the number of dimensions, and k denotes the maximum number of pages covered in one dimension among all the n dimensions during a query). The practical efficiency of our technique is demonstrated with extensive experiments.

This paper proposes an efficient index scheduling technique for kNN query processing in multiple wireless broadcast channel environment. Previous works have to wait for the next cycle if the required child nodes of the same parent node are allocated in the same time slot on multiple channel. Our proposed method computes the access frequencies of each node of R tree at the server before the generation of the R-tree index broadcast schedule. If they have high frequencies, we allocate them serially on the single channel. If they have low frequencies, we allocate them in parallel on the multiple channels. As a result, we can reduce the index node access conflicts and the long broadcast cycle. The performance evaluation shows that our scheme gives the better performance than the existing schemes.

Moving objects have characteristics that they change continuously their positions over time. The movement of moving objects should be stored on trajectories for processing past queries. Moving objects databases need to provide spatio-temporal index for handling moving objects queries like combined queries. Combined queries consist of a range query selecting trajectories within a specific range and a trajectory query extracting to parts of the whole trajectory. Access methods showing good performance in range queries have a shortcoming that the cost of processing trajectory Queries is high. On the other hand, trajectory-based index schemes like the TB-tree are not suitable for range queries because of high overlaps between index nodes. This paper proposes new TR(Trajectory Riving)-tree which is revised for efficiently processing the combined queries. This index scheme has several features like the trajectory preservation, the increase of the capacity of leaf nodes, and the logical trajectory riving in order to reduce dead space and high overlap between bounding boxes of nodes. In our Performance study, the number of node access for combined queries in TR-tree is about 25% less than the STR-tree and the TB-tree.
