Abstract. A classical problem in query optimization is to find the optimal ordering of a set of possibly correlated selections. We provide an ion of this problem as a generalizati...
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are increasingly managing very large sets of data and hence a centralized data repository may not always provide the most scalable solution. H...
This paper proposes methodologies to control the access of B-tree-indexed data in a batch and real-time fashion. Algorithms are proposed to insert, query, delete, and rebalance B-...
