  Abstract

Distance browsing queries, namely k-nearest neighbor queries, are the most important queries in spatial database applications, e.g., Geographic Information Systems(GISs). Recently, GIS applications trends to extend themselves toward wide multi-user environments such as the Web. Since many techniques for such queries, where Hjaltason and Samet's algorithm is the most efficient one, were optimized for only one query, we need to complement them suitable for multi-user environments. It can be a good approach that we store many individual query results in a cache, i.e., query result caching and reuse them in evaluating incoming queries, i.e., query result matching. In this paper, we propose a complementary Hjaltason and Samet's algorithm capable of reusing previous query results in a cache for answering distance browsing queries in multi-user GIS environments. Our experimental results confirm the efficiency of our approach.
