Overview

This book provides an extensive survey of the R-tree evolution, studying the applicability of the structure and its variations to efficient query processing, accurate proposed cost models, and implementation issues like concurrency control and parallelism. Based on the observation that "space is everywhere," the authors anticipate that we are in the beginning of the era of the "ubiquitous R-tree" analogous to the way B-trees were considered 25 years ago. Written for database researchers, designers and programmers as well as graduate students, this comprehensive monograph will be a welcome addition to the field.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

From the reviews:

"The book contains nine chapters (divided into four parts), an epilogue, a reference section, and an index, in addition to the preface and list of figures and tables. … The book is written in a very informal and user-friendly manner with lots of examples, illustrations, and tables. The authors have succeeded in making this book very accessible, understandable, and readable. This book will be invaluable to professionals, researchers, teachers, and students who deal with spatial data management systems and their access methods." (Alexis Lean, Computing Reviews, December, 2006)
