An important research issue in multimedia databases is the retrieval of similar objects. For most applications in multimedia databases, an exact search is not meaningful. Thus, mu...
Metric access methods (MAMs) serve as a tool for speeding similarity queries. However, all MAMs developed so far are index-based; they need to build an index on a given database. T...
The M-tree is a paged, dynamically balanced metric access method that responds gracefully to the insertion of new objects. To date, no algorithm has been published for the corresp...
Abstract—With increasing popularity of media enabled handhelds, the need for high data-rate services for mobile users is evident. Large-scale Wireless LANs (WLANs) can provide su...
