Previous research into the efficiency of text retrieval systems has dealt primarily with methods that consider inverted lists in sequence; these methods are known as term-at-a-tim...
We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
Abstract. We describe a proximity query algorithm for the exact minimum distance computation between arbitrarily shaped objects. Special characteristics of the Gilbert-Johnson-Keer...

Pervasive computing introduces data management requirements that must be tackled in a growingvariety of lightweight computing devices. Personal folders on chip, networks of sensor...
Several existing cache-oblivious dynamic dictionaries achieve O(logB N) (or slightly better O(logB N M )) memory transfers per operation, where N is the number of items stored, M ...
