Abstract

In this paper, we study a novel type of spatial queries, namely Nearest Window Cluster (NWC) queries. For a given query location q, NWC (q,l,w,n) retrieves n objects within a window of length l and width w, where the distance between the query location q to these n objects is the shortest. To facilitate efficient NWC query processing, we identify several properties and accordingly develop an NWC algorithm. Moreover, we propose several optimization techniques to further reduce the search cost. To validate our ideas, we conduct a comprehensive performance evaluation using both real and synthetic datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed NWC algorithm, along with the optimization techniques, is very efficient under various datasets and parameter settings. Keywords: Nearest window cluster query, spatial query processing, location-based service, spatial database.
