We study new hierarchical indexing approach to process XPATH queries. Here, a hierarchical index consists of index entries that are pairs of queries and their (full/partial) answer...
Video signatures are compact representations of video sequences designed for efficient similarity measurement. In this paper, we propose a feature extraction technique to support ...
Graphs are prevailingly used in many applications to model complex data structures. In this paper, we study the problem of supergraph containment search. To avoid the NP-complete s...
Decision support queries that scan large indexes can suffer significant degradation in I/O performance due to index fragmentation. DBAs rely on rules of thumb that use index size a...
Index structures are designed to optimize search performance, while at the same time supporting efficient data updates. Although not explicit, existing index structures are typica...
