Hicham G. Elmongui 2 SSTD’05 Motivation  Infrastructure for keeping track and answering continuous queries on moving objects – Moving Queries / Moving Objects – Stationary Queries / Moving Objects – Moving Queries / Stationary Objects – Range Queries, KNN, … Spatio-Temporal Database Server

Hicham G. Elmongui 3 SSTD’05 Motivation Spatio-Temporal Database Server How many cars on this freeway? Where is my nearest McDonald’s?

Hicham G. Elmongui 4 SSTD’05 Motivation SELECT M.ID FROM MovingObjects M WHERE M.Type = “Truck” INSIDE Area A; We cannot collect statistics statically (e.g. histograms) and answer queries efficiently over an extended period of time

Hicham G. Elmongui 5 SSTD’05 Motivation Go to work Return home Lunch hour Not just time makes a difference, but also space makes a difference Normalized Frequency

Hicham G. Elmongui 13 SSTD’05 Features of ST-Histograms  No computing capabilities assumed for the moving objects – Moving objects update their location periodically with the spatio- temporal database server  No patterns assumed for queries – Queries come and go anytime anywhere  Diskless spatio-temporal stream database server  Enable for adaptive query processing

Hicham G. Elmongui 14 SSTD’05 ST-Histogram Construction/Refining  Initially  Selectivity of a query  Rate of a query to a grid cell

Hicham G. Elmongui 15 SSTD’05 Experiments – Data Sets  Network-based Generator of Moving Objects (SSDBM’00, GeoInformatica’02)  Map of Greater Lafayette Area  Every MO updates its location every 10 sec

Hicham G. Elmongui 16 SSTD’05 Estimation Relative Error vs. Query Size

Hicham G. Elmongui 17 SSTD’05 ST-Histogram’s Stability

Hicham G. Elmongui 18 SSTD’05 ST-Histogram vs. Random Sampling

Hicham G. Elmongui 19 SSTD’05 Related Work  Spatio-temporal histograms – Choi and Chung (SIGMOD’02) – Tao et al (ICDE’03) – Marios et al (SSDBM’03)  Sampling – Random Sampling – Venn Sampling (ICDS’05)

Hicham G. Elmongui 20 SSTD’05 Conclusion  Aware of the underlying space and time dimensions  Implemented in PLACE (a spatio-temporal database server)  Efficient for spatio-temporal streaming applications  Refined upon feedback from query executor  Used in an online/offline mode  Accommodate periodicity in moving objects’ behavior  Enable adaptive query processing  Average relative error 8% for practical query sizes
