We present practical algorithms for accelerating geometric queries on models made of NURBS surfaces using programmable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We provide a generalized f...
Aggregating spatial objects is a necessary step in generating spatial data cubes to support roll-up/drill-down operations. Current approaches face performance bottleneck issues wh...
Text is ubiquitous and, not surprisingly, many important applications rely on textual data for a variety of tasks. As a notable example, information extraction applications derive...

This work deals with the application of kernel methods to structured relational settings such as semantic knowledge bases expressed in Description Logics. Our method integrates a n...
There has been a significant amount of excitement and recent work on column-oriented database systems ("column-stores"). These database systems have been shown to perfor...
