Declustering techniques reduce query response times through parallel I/O by distributing data among multiple devices. Most of the research on declustering is targeted at spatial r...
Abstract. Finding single pair shortest paths on surface is a fundamental problem in various domains, like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) 3D applications, robotic path plannin...
Abstract. Advances in web technology have given rise to new information retrieval applications. In this paper, we present a model for geographical region search and call this class...
Gazetteers are key components of georeferenced information systems, including applications such as Web-based mapping services. Existing gazetteers lack the capabilities to fully i...
