Course Description
The advance of mobile, GPS-enabled devices, satellites and other mechanisms that observe the position of objects such as vehicles, people, storms, forest fires, oil leaks or animals lead to huge amounts of data on object movement. Traditional, relational database systems are neither suitable for storing such data, nor are relational operators able to efficiently process spatio-temporal queries, i.e., queries interested in the spatio-temporal relation of moving objects. Moving Object Databases extend information systems in a way that allows storage of data on moving objects as well as efficient processing of spatio-temporal queries. This seminar focusses on Moving Object Databases and their mechanisms. Among the subjects of this course are: Spatio-temporal data models, spatio-temporal query processing and indexing, uncertain data on movement data.
