Description
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.
Audience
Researchers, computer scientists and database systems engineers and programmers in government, industry and academia; professionals from
other disciplines, e.g., geography, geology, soil science, hydrology, urban and regional planning, mobile computing, bioterrorism and
homeland security, etc.
