Nearest neighbor query is one of the most important operations in spatial databases and their application domains, e.g., locationbased services, advanced traveler information syst...
Abstract. Many different index structures have been proposed for spatial databases to support efficient query processing. However, most of these index structures suffer from an exp...
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...
Abstract. The limitations of deductive logic-based approaches at deriving operational knowledge from ontologies may be overcome by inductive (instancebased) methods, which are usua...
