This paper uses a knowledge-based approach to querying heterogeneous spatial databases based on an ontology and conceptual and attribute similarities. The ontology, which may be in...
We introduce a new domain-independent framework for formulating and efficiently evaluating similarity queries over historical data, where given a history as a sequence of timestam...
Several caching techniques have been used to reduce the bandwidth consumption and to provide faster answers in P2P systems. In this paper, we address the problem of reducing unnec...
