摘要:Many applications such as location based systems, traffic monitoring, radio frequency identification, sensor networks etc., benefit from spatio-temporal indexing. R-Tree based index structures are widely used for indexing the spatial information. The main issue to be considered is frequent updates. These applications pose frequent updates which have to be reflected in the index structure. Frequent changes to the index structure causes more overhead. Recent research is to handle these frequent updates efficiently. This paper presents the state of art in the update strategies adopted in spatio-temporal indexing. This work provides an idea of the present development in updating techniques for spatio-temporal indexing.
