Two new spatial join operations, distance join and distance semijoin, are introduced where the join output is ordered by the distance betweenthe spatialattribute values ofthe join...
We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
This paper investigates the problem of incremental joins of multiple ranked data sets when the join condition is a list of arbitrary user-defined predicates on the input tuples. ...

Geographic information systems (GIS) must support large georeferenced data sets. Due to the size of these data sets finding exact answers to spatial queries can be very time consum...
