A necessary step in the implementation of three-dimensional spatial data types for spatial database systems and GIS is the development of robust geometric primitives. The authors ...
Efficient evaluation of spatial queries is an important issue in spatial database. Among spatial operations, spatial join is very useful, intersection being the most common predic...
Exponentially rising cooling/packaging costs due to high power density call for architectural and software-level thermal management. Dynamic thermal management (DTM) techniques co...
