We consider the problem of finding association rules that make nearly optimal binary segmentations of huge categorical databases. The optimality of segmentation is defined by an o...
This work addresses a novel spatial keyword query called the m-closest keywords (mCK) query. Given a database of spatial objects, each tuple is associated with some descriptive inf...
We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...
Advanced database systems face a great challenge raised by the emergence of massive, complex structural data in bioinformatics, chem-informatics, and many other applications. The ...
The rapidly increasing number of XML-related applications indicates a growing need for efficient, dynamic, and native XML support in database management systems (XDBMS). So far, bo...
