Given a set of n query points in a general metric space, a metricspace skyline (MSS) query asks what are the closest points to all these query points in the database. Here, consid...
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...
Continuous spatio-temporal queries have recently received increasing attention due to the abundance of location-aware applications. This paper addresses the Continuous Reverse Nea...
Text is ubiquitous and, not surprisingly, many important applications rely on textual data for a variety of tasks. As a notable example, information extraction applications derive...

The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
