In this paper we propose the use of fractals and especially the Hilbert curve, in order to design good distance-preserving mappings. Such mappings improve the performance of secon...
In this paper, we propose a pseudo-relevance feedback method to deal with the photographic retrieval and medical retrieval tasks of ImageCLEF 2007. The aim of our participation to...
SQL tuning--the attempt to improve a poorly-performing execution plan produced by the database query optimizer-is a critical aspect of database performance tuning. Ironically, as ...
Database modeling is still a job of an artisan. Due to this approach database schemata evolve by growth without any evolution plan. Finally, they cannot be examined, surveyed, con...
A universal model of a database D and a set Σ of integrity constraints is a database that extends D, satisfies Σ, and is most general in the sense that it contains sound and co...
