Objectives: The course provides an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of temporal and spatial database systems. Temporal and spatial data are present in virtually all application areas. We discuss the challenges that arise from the management of temporal and spatial data; we show solutions and limitations of current database systems; we discuss the directions of current research in the area; and we illustrate the basic principles in terms of data models, query languages, algebras and algorithms.
Teaching format and exam: The course consists of lectures and exercises.
The exam is oral and takes place on January 18, 2013 in room BIN 2.E.13 according to the following schedule:
