Nowadays, users interact ubiquitously with complex data such as maps, images and videos through different types of devices ranging from their traditional desktops to modern mobile phones, digital cameras, information kiosks and GPS navigational systems. This has not only created an unprecedented amount of spatial and multimedia data, but it also made it clear that applications that efficiently manage such data are increasingly in demand. To understand the complexity of such applications, consider the following facts:
- By 2015 the global Location-Based Services (LBS) market could be US$21
billion (details)
- Sales of GIS/Geospatial software, services and data grew in 2010 to
US$4.4 billion (details)
- YouTube serves around 2 Billions videos per day (details)
