We compare standard global IR searching with user-centric localized techniques to address the database selection problem. We conduct a series of experiments to compare the retriev...
It is well established that bitmap indices are efficient for read-only attributes with low attribute cardinalities. For an attribute with a high cardinality, the size of the bitma...
In this paper, we describe a new indexing technique, the time indez, for improving the performance of certain classes of temporal queries. The time index can be used to retrieve v...
This paper presents a method for detection of double JPEG compression and a maximum likelihood estimator of the primary quality factor. These methods are essential for construction...
Online approaches to physical design tuning have received considerable attention in the recent literature, with a focus on the problem of online index selection. However, it is dif...
