Spatial Databases: Technologies, Techniques and Trends covers novel and emerging topics like spatial query processing and optimization, conceptual and physical level representation of moving objects, spatial and spatio-temporal data mining. Researchers and practitioners of database systems and GIS will find in this book a valuable text for their work. The book has been proven to be very useful for my MSc and PhD students working on fields like modeling, query processing and indexing of spatial data.

Spatial Databases: Technologies, Techniques and Trends successfully integrates research results of the last 20 years, in a clear and highly readable manner. It is a comprehensive effort towards disseminating novel issues in spatial databases and I believe it will be valuable as a reference to everyone interested in the area.
