Similarity search has been widely used in many applications such as information retrieval, image data analysis, and time-series matching. Specifically, a similarity query retrieves...
Calculation of object similarity, for example through a distance function, is a common part of data mining and machine learning algorithms. This calculation is crucial for efficie...
We study the problem of continuous monitoring of top-k queries over multiple non-synchronized streams. Assuming a sliding window model, this general problem has been a well addres...
Fast query processing of complex objects, e.g. spatial or uncertain objects, depends on efficient spatial pruning of the objects’ approximations, which are typically minimum bou...
Web prefetching mechanisms have been proposed to benefit web users by hiding the download latencies. Nevertheless, to the knowledge of the authors, there is no attempt to compare...
