Efficient processing of distance-based queries (DBQs) is of great importance in spatial databases due to the wide area of applications that may address such queries. The most repr...
We provide an evaluation of query execution plans (QEP) in the case of queries with one or two spatial joins. The QEPs assume R -tree indexed relations and use a common set of spat...

Efficient evaluation of similarity queries is one of the basic requirements for advanced multimedia applications. In this paper, we consider the relevant case where complex similar...
Group nearest neighbor (GNN) queries are a relatively new type of operations in spatial database applications. Different from a traditional kNN query which specifies a single quer...
Similarity search in time series databases is an important research direction. Several methods have been proposed in order to provide algorithms for efficient query processing in t...
