Secondo : a platform for moving objects database research

The purpose of this report is to explain and demonstrate a prototype for managing moving objects in Database Management Systems (DBMS). SECONDO is developed over the last decade by University of Hagen in Germany. It is an “extensible open-source DBMS environment” with “no fixed data model”. This fra...
