Similarity retrieval mechanisms should utilize generalized quadratic form distance functions as well as the Euclidean distance function since ellipsoid queries parameters may vary...
Abstract. Sensor networks monitor physical phenomena over large geographic regions. Scientists can gain valuable insight into these phenomena, if they understand the underlying dat...
Sharing huge databases in distributed systems is inherently difficult. As the amount of stored data increases, data localization techniques become no longer sufficient. A more ef...

It is well known that transactional and analytical systems each require different database architecture. In general, the database structure of transactional systems is optimized f...
Topological relationships like overlap, inside, meet, and disjoint uniquely characterize the relative position between objects in space. For a long time, they have been a focus of...
