Indexing XML is crucial for efficient XML query processing. We propose a compact tree (Ctree) for XML indexing, which provides not only concise path summaries at group level but a...
Abstract. In this paper we study the external memory planar point enclosure problem: Given N axis-parallel rectangles in the plane, construct a data structure on disk (an index) su...
Wikipedia has become an important source of information which is growing very rapidly. However, the existing infrastructure for querying this information is limited and often igno...

We consider segment intersection searching amidst (possibly intersecting) algebraic arcs in the plane. We show how to preprocess n arcs in time O(n2+ ) into a data structure of si...
The inability to answer proximity queries efficiently for spaces of dimension d > 2 has led to the study of approximation to proximity problems. Several techniques have been pro...
