To enable efficient similarity search in large databases, many indexing techniques use a linear transformation scheme to reduce dimensions and allow fast approximation. In this re...
—Survivability modeling and evaluation have gained increasing importance. Most existing models assume that the distributions for transitions between states are exponential. Howev...
Abstract. A fundamental data modeling problem in geographical information systems and spatial database systems refers to an appropriate treatment of the vagueness or indeterminacy ...
Schema matching has been historically difficult to automate. Most previous studies have tried to find matches by exploiting information on schema and data instances. However, sche...
Sequential pattern mining is very important because it is the basis of many applications. Yet how to efficiently implement the mining is difficult due to the inherent characteri...
