In recent years, some computer vision algorithms such as SIFT (Scale Invariant Feature Transform) have been employed in image similarity match to perform image-based search applic...
The B-tree is a fundamental external index structure that is widely used for answering one-dimensional range reporting queries. Given a set of N keys, a range query can be answere...
Mobile devices equipped with positioning capabilities (e.g., GPS) can ask location-dependent queries to Location Based Services (LBS). To protect privacy, the user location must n...

In this paper, we formalize the novel concept of Constrained Reverse k-Nearest Neighbor (CRkNN) search on mobile objects (clients) performed at a central server. The CRkNN query c...
Abstract. We are presenting a coherent framework for XQuery processing that incorporates IR-style approximate matching and allows the ordering of results by their relevance score. ...
