We revisit one of the most fundamental classes of data structure problems in computational geometry: range searching. Back in SoCG’92, Matouˇsek gave a partition tree method fo...
A common problem in many types of databases is retrieving the most similar matches to a query object. Finding those matches in a large database can be too slow to be practical, es...
Index trees created using distance based indexing are difficult to maintain online since the distance function involved is often costly to compute. This problem is intensified whe...
We present a multi-dimensional indexing approach for fast sequence similarity search in DNA and protein databases. In particular, we propose effective transformations of subsequen...
The popularity of location-based services and the need to do real-time processing on them has led to an interest in performing queries on transportation networks, such as finding s...
