Abstract

The ubiquity of location-aware devices has resulted in a plethora of location-based services in which huge amounts of spatial data need to be efficiently processed. To cope with such proliferation of spatial data, this dissertation addresses two key issues that are overlooked by existing spatial-query processing platforms: i) the multiplicity of predicates in spatial queries, and ii) the dynamic nature of big spatial data.
