Abstract. Nearest-neighbor queries in high-dimensional space are of high importance in various applications, especially in content-based indexing of multimedia data. For an optimiz...
The design of external index structures for one- and multidimensional extended objects is a long and well studied subject in basic database research. Today, more and more commercia...
Information retrieval systems can be partitioned into two main classes: large-scale systems that make use of an inverted index or some other auxiliary data structure, intended for...
The complexity of deploying high-performance spatial structures in transactional DBMS environments has motivated researchers to experiment with the idea of reusing the effort inve...
