Abstract

We present a COVEering Tile-based (COVET) query indexfor fast locating of moving objects. A set of virtualtiles are predefined, each with a unique ID. One or more ofthe virtual tiles are used to strictly cover individual rangequeries. A COVET index maintains a direct mapping betweentiles and queries. The use of covering tiles has twoimportant properties. First, it makes the search of all rangequeries containing an object efficient. Second, more importantly,it allows query evaluation to take advantage of incrementalchanges in object locations. Simulations are conductedto evaluate the effectiveness of the COVET index.
