Given a set of n query points in a general metric space, a metricspace skyline (MSS) query asks what are the closest points to all these query points in the database. Here, consid...
We consider segment intersection searching amidst (possibly intersecting) algebraic arcs in the plane. We show how to preprocess n arcs in time O(n2+ ) into a data structure of si...
In many applications, we need to analyze a large number of time series. Segments of time series demonstrating dominating advantages over others are often of particular interest. In...
Modern database applications including computer-aided design, multimedia information systems, medical imaging, molecular biology, or geographical information systems impose new re...
We consider the problem of rewriting a query efficiently using materialized views. In the context of information integration, this problem has received significant attention in th...
