Most applications that access large data objects do so through file systems, but file systems provide an incomplete solution, as they maintain insufficient metadata and do not pro...
This paper introduces the Scalable INcremental hash-based Algorithm (SINA, for short); a new algorithm for evaluating a set of concurrent continuous spatio-temporal queries. SINA ...
Searching for similar objects in metric-space databases can be efficiently solved by using index data structures. A number of alternative sequential indexes have been proposed in...
Parallel and concurrent garbage collectors are increasingly employed by managed runtime environments (MREs) to maintain scalability, as multi-core architectures and multi-threaded...
Much attention has been accorded to Location-Based Services and location tracking, a necessary component in active, trigger-based LBS applications. Tracking the location of a larg...
