The current trends in consumer electronics--including the use of
GPS-equipped PDAs, phones, and vehicles, as well as the RFID-tag
tracking and sensor networks--require the database support of a
specific flavor of spatio-temporal databases. These we call Moving
Objects Databases.
Why do you need this book? With current systems, most data
management professionals are not able to smoothly integrate
spatio-temporal data from moving objects, making data from, say,
the path of a hurricane very difficult to model, design, and query.
Whether your field is geology, national security, urban planning,
mobile computing, or almost anything in between, this book s
concepts and techniques will help you solve the data management
problems associated with this kind of data.
+ Focuses on the modeling and design of data from moving
objects--such as people, animals, vehicles, hurricanes, forest
fires, oil spills, armies, or other objects--as well as the
storage, retrieval, and querying of that very voluminous
data.
+ Demonstrates through many practical examples and illustrations
how new concepts and techniques are used to integrate time and
space in database applications.
+ Provides exercises and solutions in each chapter to enable the
reader to explore recent research results in practice.
