Existing approaches for the processing of location-dependent queries implicitly assume location data expressed at maximum precision (e.g., GPS). However, there exist applications w...
This paper presents a family of programming projects appropriate to a sophomore-level data structures course, centered around the concept of a buffer pool serving as the access i...
Grid is an emerging infrastructure used to share resources among virtual organizations in a seamless manner and to provide breakthrough computing power at low cost. Nowadays there...
In a spatial database, an object may extend arbitrarily in space. As a result, many spatial data structures e.g., the quadtree, the cell tree, the R+-tree represent an object by p...
Design and research practitioners have applied probes in their design processes to find new ways of understanding user experience, allowing them to obtain a better understanding of...
