We introduce a cost model for the M-tree access method [Ciaccia et al., 1997] which provides estimates of CPU (distance computations) and I/O costs for the execution of similarity ...
The current main memory (DRAM) access speeds lag far behind CPU speeds. Cache memory, made of static RAM, is being used in today's architectures to bridge this gap. It provid...
This paper presents a portable, efficient method for accessing memory resident persistent objects in virtual memory in the context of the E programming language. Under the approac...
Wide-area networks provide an easy access to many different distributed and heterogeneous data sources. The development of automated operating tools is still complex, particularly...

Despite the importance of ranked queries in numerous applications involving multi-criteria decision making, they are not efficiently supported by traditional database systems. In ...
