Generators for synthetic (spatio-temporal) datasets
Spatial Data Generator by Yannis Theodoridis Group@Unipi.
For point or rectangular (static) objects. Available athttp://www.rtreeportal.org/software/SpatialDataGenerator.zip
GSTD (Generating Spatio-Temporal Datasets) by Yannis Theodoridis and Mario Nascimento [TSN99, TN00, PT00].
For point or rectangular moving objects The original version assumed unrestricted motion in the workspace while a more recent version introduced restrictions as an infrastructure of stationery objects.

Generator for network-based moving objects by Thomas Brinkhoff [Bri00, Bri02].
For moving points in road networks. The driving application is the field of traffic telematics.

OPORTO Generator by J.-M. Saglio and Jose Moreira [SM01].
For point and region moving objects, motivated by the concept of fishing ships (ships are attracted by shoals of fish, fishes are attracted by plankton areas, and so on).

G-TERD (Generator for Time-Evolving Regional Data) by Yannis Manolopoulos' group [TVM02].
For complex regional objects, with their motion influenced by other moving or static objects.
