Abstract: The ability to represent and query continuously moving objects is important in many applications of spatio-temporal database systems. In this paper we develop data structures for answering various queries on moving objects, including range and proximity queries, and study tradeoffs between various performance measures---query time, data structure size, and accuracy of results.
