We consider a distributed system where each node keeps a local count for items (similar to elections where nodes are ballot boxes and items are candidates). A top-k query in such ...
Range searching is among the most fundamental problems in computational geometry. An n-element point set in Rd is given along with an assignment of weights to these points from so...
We develop a cache-oblivious data structure for storing a set S of N axis-aligned rectangles in the plane, such that all rectangles in S intersecting a query rectangle or point ca...
In emerging applications such as location-based services, sensor monitoring and biological management systems, the values of the database items are naturally imprecise. For these ...
