Abstract. Distributed moving object database servers are a feasible solution to the scalability problem of centralized database systems. In this paper we propose a distributed inde...
Many location-based applications require constant monitoring of k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) queries over moving objects within a geographic area. Existing approaches to this problem...
In the last decade, spatio-temporal database research focuses on the design of effective and efficient indexing structures in support of location-based queries such as predictive...
Index structures are designed to optimize search performance, while at the same time supporting efficient data updates. Although not explicit, existing index structures are typica...
Multimedia Information Retrieval (IR) techniques and associated systems are now numerous and justify the development of strategies and actions to objectively evaluate their capabi...
