: Simplifying data programming is a core mission of data management research. The issue at stake is to help engineers build efficient and robust data-centric applications. The fron...
Increasing prevalence of large-scale distributed monitoring and computing environments such as sensor networks, scientific federations, Grids etc., has led to a renewed interest in...
Due to its considerable ease of use, relational keyword search (R-KWS) has become increasingly popular. Its simplicity, however, comes at the cost of intensive query processing. Sp...
In this paper, we present a new and robust shape descriptor, which can be efficiently used to quickly prune a search for similar shapes in a large image database. The proposed sha...
