Fast query processing of complex objects, e.g. spatial or uncertain objects, depends on efficient spatial pruning of the objects’ approximations, which are typically minimum bou...
Wireless sensor networks are rapidly finding their way through a plethora of new applications like precision farming and forestry, with increasing network scale, system complexit...
: Cost-based optimizers in relational databases make use of data statistics to estimate intermediate result cardinalities. Those cardinalities are needed to estimate access plan co...
Apart from visualization tasks, three-dimensional (3D) data management features are not or only hardly available in current spatial database systems and Geographic Information Sys...
In this paper, an interactive image retrieval scheme using MPEG-7 visual descriptors is proposed. The performance of image retrieval systems is still limited due to semantic gap, w...
