Medical visual information retrieval has been a very active research area over the past ten years as an increasing amount of images is produced digitally and made available in the ...
Uncertain data arises in a number of domains, including data integration and sensor networks. Top-k queries that rank results according to some user-defined score are an important...
We present practical algorithms for accelerating geometric queries on models made of NURBS surfaces using programmable Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). We provide a generalized f...
Data warehouses store large volumes of data according to a multidimensional model with dimensions representing different axes of analysis. OLAP systems (OnLine Analytical Processi...
User feedback has proven very successful to query large multimedia databases. Due to the nature of the data representation and the mismatch between mathematical models and human p...
