A Survey of Spatial, Temporal and Spatio-temporal Data Mining

Spatio-temporal data sets are often very large and difficult to analyze and display. Since they are fundamental for decision support in many application contexts, recently a lot of interest has arisen toward data-mining techniques to filter out relevant subsets of very large data repositories as well as visualization tools to effectively display the results. In this paper we propose a data-mining system to deal with very large spatio-temporal data sets. With the growth in the size of datasets, data mining has recently become an important research topic and is receiving substantial interest from both academia and industry. This short paper provides a few comments on this research and provides a relevant research papers investigating temporal, spatial and spatio-temporal data mining.
