We introduce a novel spatial join operator, the ring-constrained join (RCJ). Given two sets P and Q of spatial points, the result of RCJ consists of pairs p, q (where p P, q Q) ...
Geospatial data-sets are becoming commonplace in many application domains, especially in the area of decision-making. Current state-of-the-art in geospatial systems either lack the...
ibe an abstract data model of protein structures by representing the geometry of proteins using spatial data types and present a framework for fast structural similarity search bas...
The generalization index system is one of the critical issues for computer-aided land use database generalization. This paper studies the scale and land use pattern effects on lan...
When storing data in heterogeneous databases, one of the top-down design issues concerns the usage of multiple query languages. A common language enables querying of database schem...
