Abstract

In order to handle time-series patterns efficiently, a database system needs an index mechanism that will help it retrieve patterns quickly according to their temporal and spatial characteristics. Time-series patterns are represented as a sequence of points in multidimensional spaces, however traditional indexing methods are not well suited to support this requirement. In this paper, we propose a dynamic index structure called a TIP-index (TIme-series Pattern index) for efficient manipulation of time-series pattern databases. The TIP-index is developed by improving the extended multidimensional dynamic index file(EMDF). We present the structure and give algorithms for searching and inserting in it. We compare the performance of TIP-index with that of EMDF. The results indicate that insertion and search performance is improved, and we conclude that the TIP-index is efficient for applications in time-series patterns.
