Abstract

In many applications, such as road traffic supervision and location based mobile service in large cities, moving objects continue to generate large amount of spatio-temporal information in the form of data streams. How to get qualified answers for aggregate queries appears to be a big challenge due to the high dynamic nature of data streams. Previous methods (e.g., AMH[11]) mainly focus on efficient organization of spatio-temporal information and rapid response time, not the quality of the answer. Our main contribution is a novel method to process important aggregate queries (e.g. SUM and AVG) based on a new structure (named AMH*) to summarize spatio-temporal information. The analysis in theory shows that the relative error and (/or) absolute error of answers can be ensured smaller than predefined parameters. A series of extended experiments evaluate the correctness of our approach.
