News from the Online Traveling Repairman
In the traveling repairman problem (Trp), a tour must be found through every one of a set of points (cities) in some metric space such that the weighted sum of completion times of ...

M+-tree : A New Dynamical Multidimensional Index for Metric Spaces
In this paper, we propose a new metric index, called M+ -tree, which is a tree dynamically organized for large datasets in metric spaces. The proposed M+ -tree takes full advantag...

Bounded Geometries, Fractals, and Low-Distortion Embeddings
The doubling constant of a metric space (X, d) is the smallest value λ such that every ball in X can be covered by λ balls of half the radius. The doubling dimension of X is the...

The Black-Box Complexity of Nearest Neighbor Search
We define a natural notion of efficiency for approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) search in general n-point metric spaces, namely the existence of a randomized algorithm which answ...

A scalable algorithm for high-quality clustering of web snippets
We consider the problem of partitioning, in a highly accurate and highly efficient way, a set of n documents lying in a metric space into k non-overlapping clusters. We augment th...

Searching in metric spaces by spatial approximation
We propose a new data structure to search in metric spaces. A metric space is formed by a collection of objects and a distance function de ned among them, which satis es the trian...
