The recent surge of interest in spatio-temporal databases has resulted in numerous advances, such as: modeling, indexing, and querying of moving objects and spatio-temporal data. Aside from this, rule mining in spatial databases and temporal databases has been studied extensively in data mining research. Temporal and Spatio-Temporal Data Mining: Association Patterns and Applications examines the problem of mining topological patterns in spatio-temporal databases by imposing the temporal constraints into the process of mining spatial collocation patterns. Temporal and Spatio-Temporal Data...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed joint post-proceedings of the VLDB 2002 Workshop on Efficiency and Effectiveness of XML Tools and Techniques, EEXTT and the CAiSE 2002 Workshop on Data Integration over the Web, DIWeb.

The 10 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and revision. The papers are organized in topical sections on XML languages, XML modeling and integration, XML storage, benchmarking XML, and data integration over the Web.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Database Systems for Advanced Applications, DASFAA 2006, held in Singapore in April 2006. 46 revised full papers and 16 revised short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 188 submissions. Topics include sensor networks, subsequence matching and repeating patterns, spatial-temporal databases, data mining, XML compression and indexing, xpath query evaluation, uncertainty and streams, peer-to-peer and distributed networks and more.

Since its first edition in 2003, the XML Database Symposium series (XSym) has been a forum for academics, practitioners, users and vendors, allowing all to discuss the use of and synergy between database management systems and XML. The symposia have provided many opportunities for timely discussions on a broad range of topics pertaining to the theory and practice of XML data management and its applications. XSym 2010 continued this XSym tradition with a program consisting of 11 papers and a keynote shared with the 36th International Conference on Very Large Data Bases (VLDB 2010). We received...

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 34th International Conference on Conceptual Modeling, ER 2015, held in Stockholm, Sweden, in October 2015. The 26 full and 19 short papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 131 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on business process and goal models, ontology-based models and ontology patterns, constraints, normalization, interoperability and integration, collaborative modeling, variability and uncertainty modeling, modeling and visualization of user generated content, schema discovery and evolution,...
