Given two sets A and B of m non-intersecting line segments in the plane, we show how to compute in O(m log m) time a data structure that uses O(m) space and allows to answer the fo...

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...

Histograms are typically used to approximate data distributions. Histograms and related synopsis structures have been successful in a wide variety of popular database applications...
There is an increasing demand for locality-preserving distribution of complex data structures in peer-to-peer systems. Current systems either do not preserve object locality or su...
In this paper, we explore the problem of processing a novel type of location based queries, named the location based top-k query, which involves both of spatial and non-spatial sp...
