Spatiotemporal databases are becoming increasingly more common. Typically, applications
modeling spatiotemporal objects need to process vast amounts of data. In such cases,
generating aggregate information from the data set is more useful than individually
analyzing every entry. In this paper, we study the most relevant techniques for the evaluation
of aggregate queries on spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal data. We also present a
model that reduces the evaluation of aggregate queries to the problem of selecting …
