This paper proposes the Distributed Synchronous Traversal algorithm (DST) for distributed processing of spatial join with multiple datasets (Multi-way Spatial Join). It was evalueted over clusters up to eigth servers, and just like the Synchronous Traversal algorithm, performs spatial join by synchronously traversing the input R-Trees. The experiments results on real datasets have shown that the algorithm provides a satisfactory degree of horizontal scalability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
