In biological applications, the tandem mass spectrometry is a widely used method for determining protein and peptide sequences from an ”in vitro” sample. The sequences are not...
Abstract. Searching in metric spaces is a very active field since it offers methods for indexing and searching by similarity in collections of unstructured data. These methods sele...
Exploiting the concepts of social networking represents a novel approach to the approximate similarity query processing. We present a metric social network where relations between...
