We consider the issue of query performance, and we propose a novel method for automatically predicting the difficulty of a query. Unlike a number of existing techniques which are b...
This paper addresses the efficient processing of similarity queries in metric spaces, where data is horizontally distributed across a P2P network. The proposed approach does not r...
