Once a new gene has been sequenced, it must be verified whether or not it is similar to previously sequenced genes. In many cases, the organization that sequenced a potentially n...
Qualitative spatial reasoning forms an important part of the commonsense reasoning required for building intelligent Geographical Information Systems (GIS). Previous research has c...
We consider the approximate nearest neighbour search problem on the Hamming cube {0, 1}d. We show that a randomised cell probe algorithm that uses polynomial storage and word size...
Full disjunctions are an associative extension of the outerjoin operator to an arbitrary number of relations. Their main advantage is the ability to maximally combine data from di...
Histograms and Wavelet synopses provide useful tools in query optimization and approximate query answering. Traditional histogram construction algorithms, such as V-Optimal, optim...
