An increasing number of business users and software applications need to process information that is accessible via multiple diverse information systems, such as database systems,...
This paper proposes a ranking method to exploit statistical correlations among pairs of attribute values in relational databases. For a given query, the correlations of the query ...
In high-dimensional and complex metric spaces, determining the nearest neighbor (NN) of a query object ? can be a very expensive task, because of the poor partitioning operated by...
In this paper, we present an original network graph embedding to speed-up distance-range and k-nearest neighbor queries in (weighted) graphs. Our approach implements the paradigm ...
In this paper, we identify and solve a new type of spatial queries, called continuous visible nearest neighbor (CVNN) search. Given a data set P, an obstacle set O, and a query li...
