Design and implementation of index structures for fuzzy spatial databases

Over the years database management systems have evolved to include spatially referenced data. Because spatial data are complex and have a number of unique constraints (i.e., spatial components and uncertain properties), spatial database systems can be effective only if the spatial data are properly handled at the physical level. Therefore, it is important to develop an effective spatial and aspatial indexing technique to facilitate flexible spatial and/or aspatial querying for such databases. For this purpose we introduce an indexing approach to use (fuzzy) spatial and (fuzzy) aspatial data. We use a number of spatial index structures, such as Multilevel Grid File (MLGF), G-tree, R-tree, and R*-tree, for fuzzy spatial databases and compare the performances of these structures for various flexible queries.

Development of a database management system for small and medium sized enterprises
Şafak, Çiğdem; Kılıç, S. Engin; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2005)
Databases and database technology have become an essential component of everyday life in modern society. As databases are widely used in every organization with a computer system, control of data resources and management of data are very important. Database Management System (DBMS) is the most significant tool developed to serve multiple users in a database environment consisting of programs that enable users to create and maintain a database. Windows Distributed Internet Applications (DNA) architecture des...
Using operational data for decision making a feasibility study in rail maintenance
Marsh, William; Nur, Khalid; Yet, Barbaros; Majumdar, Arnab (2016-05-01)
In many organisations, large databases are created as part of the business operation: the promise of ‘big data’ is to extract information from these databases to make smarter decisions. We explore the feasibility of this approach for better decision-making for maintenance, specifically for rail infrastructure. We argue that the data should be used within a Bayesian framework with the aim of inferring the underlying state of the system so we can predict future failures and improve decision-making. Within thi...
Improving the scalability of ILP-based multi-relational concept discovery system through parallelization
Mutlu, Ayşe Ceyda; Karagöz, Pınar; Kavurucu, Yusuf (2012-03-01)
Due to the increase in the amount of relational data that is being collected and the limitations of propositional problem definition in relational domains, multi-relational data mining has arisen to be able to extract patterns from relational data. In order to cope with intractably large search space and still to be able to generate high-quality patterns. ILP-based multi-relational data mining and concept discovery systems employ several search strategies and pattern limitations. Another direction to cope w...
Design of a web based interface and database structure for structural engineering experimental data /
Kurt, Tolga; Kurç, Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2014)
This study is conducted in order to design and implement a web-based database application which stores structural and earthquake engineering experimental data and related documents in a main server in a standardized manner and makes it possible for researchers and engineers to add and share experimental data easily. The system is developed in accordance with the standards defined in the scope of the SERIES project which is a project operated by a consortium consisting of related university laboratories and ...
Implementation of x-tree with 3d spatial index and fuzzy secondary index
Keskin, Sinan; Yazıcı, Adnan; Oğuztüzün, Mehmet Halit S.; Department of Computer Engineering (2010)
Multidimensional datasets are getting more extensively used in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) applications in recent years. Due to large volume of these datasets efficient querying becomes a significant problem. For this purpose, before creating index structure with these enormous datasets, choosing an efficient index structure is an urgent necessity. The aim of this thesis is to develop an efficient, flexible and extendible index structure which comprises 3D spatial data in primary index and fuzzy at...
