The novel context of accessing and querying large data repositories through ontologies that are formalized in terms of expressive DLs requires on the one hand to consider query an...
Retrieval of 3D models have attracted much research interest, and many types of shape features have been proposed. In this paper, we describe a novel approach of combining the fea...
Today's Content-Based Image Retrieval (CBIR) techniques are based on the "k-nearest neighbors" (kNN) model. They retrieve images from a single neighborhood using lo...
Database workloads consist of mixes of queries that run concurrently and interact with each other. In this paper, we demonstrate that query interactions can have a significant imp...
