Abstract. An algorithm for ranking spatial objects according to increasing distance from a query object is introduced and analyzed. The algorithm makes use of a hierarchical spatia...
During the last years, the genomes of more and more species have been sequenced, providing data for phylogenetic reconstruction based on genome rearrangement measures, where the m...
In this article, we review the major paradigms for approximate similarity queries and propose a classification schema that easily allows existing approaches to be compared along ...
The question whether a given set of views, defined by queries, can be used to answer another query, arises in several contexts such as query optimization, data integration and se...
Bitmap indices are efficient data structures for processing complex, multi-dimensional queries in data warehouse applications and scientific data analysis. For high-cardinality at...
