In this paper we introduce the notion of constrained nearest neighbor queries (CNN) and propose a series of methods to answer them. This class of queries can be thought of as neare...
Reasoning about space has been a considerable field of study both in Artificial Intelligence and in spatial information theory. Many applications benefit from the inference of ...
Personalization is a powerful mechanism that helps users to cope with the abundance of information on the Web. Database query personalization achieves this by dynamically construc...
In orthogonal range reporting we are to preprocess N points in d-dimensional space so that the points inside a d-dimensional axis-aligned query box can be reported efficiently. T...
The R*-tree, as a state-of-the-art spatial index, has already found its way into commercial systems like Oracle. In this paper, we aim at improving query performance of the R*tree...
