Spatio-Temporal Databases: Contentions, Components and Consolidation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Spatio-temporal databases have been the focus of considerable research activity over a significant period. However, there are as of yet very few prototypes of complete systems, far less products that provide effective support for applications tracking changes to spatial and aspatial data over time. We contend that this is because much of the activity in spatio-temporal databases has focused on specific parts of the problem, at the expense of a more holistic view of database systems design and development. It is probably also the case that the database research community has been inclined to undervalue integration or consolidation activities. This paper outlines some contentions relating to spatio-temporal databases, with a view to pruning the space of possible paths that consolidation activities might follow. Suggestions are also made as to what areas are most likely to present challenges to a consolidation activity, in the light of a model architecture for a spatio-temporal database.

Modeling of spatio-temporal of albedo over Iran
The aim of this study is modeling spatiotemporal variations of albedo. This study was conducted using simultaneous effects of several components, such as wetness of surface layer of soil, cloudiness, topography and vegetation density (NDVI), using MEERA2 model with a resolution of 50 in 50 km during 2000-2010 in Iran. The results of spatial analysis of albedo values in Iran showed that the high...
متن کاملEvaluation of Tests for Separability and Symmetry of Spatio-temporal Covariance Function
In recent years, some investigations have been carried out to examine the assumptions like stationarity, symmetry and separability of spatio-temporal covariance function which would considerably simplify fitting a valid covariance model to the data by parametric and nonparametric methods. In this article, assuming a Gaussian random field, we consider the likelihood ratio separability test, a va...
متن کاملSpatio-Temporal Parameters' Changes in Gait of Male Elderly Subjects
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare spatio-temporal gait parameters between elderly and young male subjects. Methods & Materials: 57 able-bodied elderly (72±5.5 years) and 57 healthy young (25±8.5 years) subjects participated in this study. A four segment model consist of trunk, hip, shank, and foot with 10 reflective markers were used to define lower limbs. Kinematic data c...
متن کاملAssessment of Neonate's Congenital Hypothyroidism Pattern Using Poisson Spatio-temporal Model in Disease Mapping under the Bayesian Paradigm during 2011-18 in Guilan, Iran
Background: Congenital Hypothyroidism (CH) is one of the reasons for mental retardation and defective growth in neonates. It can be treated if it is diagnosed early. The congenital hypothyroidism can be diagnosed using newborn screening in the first days after birth. Disease mapping helps to identify high-risk areas of the disease. This study aimed to evaluate the pattern of CH using the Poisso...
