Flash disks are becoming an important alternative to conventional magnetic disks. Although accessed through the same interface by applications, flash disks have some distinguishe...
In this paper, we present an experimental evaluation of three color-spatial retrieval techniques -- the signaturebased technique, the partition-based algorithm and the cluster-bas...
This paper focuses on the application of rough set constructs to inductive learning from a database. A design guideline is suggested, which provides users the option to choose app...
In this paper, a locking-based concurrency control scheme is presented for object-oriented databases (OODBs). It is designed for controlling accesses to class hierarchy, which is ...
We present a method for decomposing a hypergraph with certain regularities into smaller hypergraphs. By applying this to the set of all canonical covers of a given set of functiona...
