This paper addresses the problem of representing the connectivity information of geometric objects using as little memory as possible. As opposed to raw compression issues, the fo...
In recent years, several methods have been proposed for implementing interactive similarity queries on multimedia databases. Common to all these methods is the idea to exploit use...
Data storage has become an important issue in sensor networks as a large amount of collected data need to be archived for future information retrieval. This paper introduces stora...
We investigate the optimality of (1+ )-approximation algorithms obtained via the dimensionality reduction method. We show that: • Any data structure for the (1 + )-approximate n...
Hash tables are one of the most fundamental data structures in computer science, in both theory and practice. They are especially useful in external memory, where their query perf...
