Abstract

Efficient storage, indexing and retrieval of time-evolving spatial data are some of the tasks that a Spatiotemporal Database Management System (STDBMS) must support. Aiming at designers of indexing methods and access structures, in this article we review the GSTD algorithm for generating spatiotemporal datasets according to several user-defined parameters, and introduce a WWW-based environment for generating and visualizing such datasets. The GSTD interface is available at two main sites: http://www.cti.gr/RD3/GSTD/ and http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~mn/GSTD/.
