Chapter 7: Architectures and Implementations of Spatio-temporal Database Management Systems

  • Chapter
Spatio-Temporal Databases

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNCS,volume 2520))

Abstract

This chapter is devoted to architectural and implementation aspects of spatiotemporal database management systems. It starts with a general introduction into architectures and commercial approaches to extending databases by spatiotemporal features. Thereafter, the prototype systems Concert, Secondo, Dedale, Tiger, and GeoToolKit are presented.
