Abstract: Considering some real applications with the constraints of spatial database queries, we define a new type of query called constrained group nearest group query, and investigate query processing technology according to the "constraint" property. A constraint clustering algorithm is designed to ensure that the query point number of the result satisfies the constraint. MBM and SHR are employed to obtain initial results. Then, a pruning strategy is introduced to improve the iterative updating procedure, which enable the obtaining of optimal results. Experiments were implemented to verify the effectiveness and practicality of the method.
