This tutorial provides a comprehensive and comparative overview of general techniques to efficiently support similarity queries in spatial, temporal, spatio-temporal, and multimedi...
In spatial data mining, a common task is the discovery of spatial association rules from spatial databases. We propose a distributed system, named ARES that takes advantage of the ...
Bitmap indexes are widely used in Decision Support Systems (DSSs) to improve query performance. In this paper, we evaluate the use of compressed inverted indexes with adapted quer...
Current data management approaches can easily handle the relatively simple requirements for molecular biology research but not the more varied and sophisticated microscopy imaging...
Over a traditional Database Management System (DBMS), the answer to an aggregate query is usually much smaller than the answer to a similar nonaggregate query. Therefore, we call ...
