To C´ecile,Simon,Cl´ement —Philippe Claire,Julien,P.G. —Michel Oliver,Juliette,Am´elie —Agn`es Foreword VictorVianu, University ofCalifornia, SanDiego These are exciting times for the database area. Gone are the days when databases were limited to such mundane tasks as handling payroll records. Today, a database is just as likely to hold web pages, genome collections, chip designs, videos, satellite imagery, music, or maps.Thebasicfunctionsofadatabaseremainthesame:efficientstor- age and querying. However, they now require a vastly wider range of techniques, integrating classical and specialized approaches to various typesofdata. Among the specialized data handled by today’s databases, spatial data has emerged as central to many applications. These include geo- graphic information systems (GISs), computer-aided design (CAD), robotics, image processing, and VLSI, all of which have at their core spatial objects that must be stored, queried, and displayed. The need forspecifictechniquesgearedtowardspatialobjectsgaverisetothearea of spatial databases. In a relatively short period, spatial databases have developed a comprehensive technology, including representations for spatial objects, spatial access methods for fast retrieval, specific query languages,andalgorithmsadaptedfromadjacentareassuchascompu- tationalgeometry. Spatial Databases: With Application to GIS presents this diverse and intellectually challenging material in a thorough, comprehensive, yet accessible fashion. The focus is on the fundamental technology of ix x Foreword spatial databases, with a special eye toward GIS, which remains this technology’s foremost application. The presentation strikes the right balance between fundamental concepts of spatial databases and the state of the art in GIS. The book is aimed primarily at computer scientists, but also at geographers who would like to understand the technicalissuesraisedbytheirfieldwithincomputerscience. The authors of this book—Philippe Rigaux, Michel Scholl, and Agne`s Voisard—have worked for many years in the field of spatial databasesasresearchers,projectleaders,andeducators.Theyhavecon- tributed to the foundations of the area, as well as to the development of major prototypes. The book has benefited enormously from their experience, and will be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in thisexcitingfield.
