Abstract
Rapid advances in the technology of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have
prompted a wide range of spatially referenced applications. However, conventional GISs are dealing with a static view of a continuously changing real world. Taking a snapshot of the world, can "be quite useful for a number of applications, however, many other applications are suffering from the lack of incorporation of time in the GIS analysis. Therefore, the increasing demands for temporal capabilities of GISs have started a stream of research in this field. Undoubtedly, handling time is a direct consequence of handling changes. Therefore, change handling, as well as keeping track of tangible data are the most important conceptual and technical problems in spatio-temporal databases.
