Efficient processing of reverse nearest neighborhood queries in spatial databases

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel query called reverse nearest neighborhood (RNH) query is proposed.

• An approach for processing RNH queries using R-Tree data indexing is presented.

• Our approach incrementally discovers RNHs of a facility from the candidate RNH users.

• The variants of RNH query in spatial databases and solutions for them are presented.

• Extensive experiments with real datasets are conducted to validate the approach.
