Abstract

In this paper, we describe an experimental examination of a well-known group of multidimensional access methods, called the R-tree group. The test environment aimed at investigating how the performance of such access methods is affected by factors such as datasets volume scalability, disk page size and the area of non-zero size objects. The workload was composed of point queries, intersection and containment range queries. Moreover, we analyzed the efficiency of initial indexing structure building. We based our comparison mainly on the number of disk accesses.
