Correctly generating a structured query (e.g., an XQuery or a SQL query) requires the user to have a full understanding of the database schema, which can be a daunting task. Alter...
The paper introduces a model of the Web as an in nite, semistructured set of objects. We reconsider the classical notions of genericity and computability of queries in this new con...
For complex queries in parallel database systems, substantial amounts of data must be redistributed between operators executed on different processing nodes. Frequently, such inter...
We introduce the N-buffer as a tool for multiresolution depth map representation. This neighborhood buffer encodes the value and position of local depth extrema at different scale...
This paper presents a new use of the Curvelet transform as a multiscale method for indexing linear singularities and curved handwritten shapes in documents images. As it belongs t...
