by Ralf H. Güting (Editor), Dimitris Papadias (Editor), Fred Lochovsky (Editor)

Overview

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th Internationa l Symposium on Spatial Databases, SSD'99, held in Hong Kong, China in July 1999. The 17 revised full papers presented were carefully selecte d from 55 submissions. Also included are short papers corresponding to three invited talks and industrial applications presentations. The pa pers are organized in chapters on multi-resolution and scale, indexing , moving objects and spatio-temporal data, spatial mining and classifi cation, spatial join, uncertainty and geological hypermaps, and indust rial and visionary application track.
