The number of specialized databases in molecular biology is growing fast, as is the availability of molecular data. These trends necessitate the development of automatic methods fo...
Many strategies for similarity search in image databases assume a metric and quadratic form-based similarity model where an optimal lower bounding distance function exists for fil...
The filtering of XML data is the basis of many complex applications. Lots of algorithms have been proposed to solve this problem[2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 18]. One importan...
Geographic web search engines allow users to constrain and order search results in an intuitive manner by focusing a query on a particular geographic region. Geographic search tec...
In this paper, we propose a bitmap approach for efficient subspace skyline computation in a distributed setting. Our approach computes extended skylines which have been shown to i...
