In decision support systems for Intensive Care Units (ICU), the data management subsystem plays an essential role since the data have a heterogeneous origin. The temporal dimension...
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...
In this paper, we present the ArchIS system that achieves full-functionality transaction-time databases without requiring temporal extensions in XML or database standards. ArchIS&...
Multimedia applications usually involve a large number of multimedia objects (texts, images, sounds etc.). Spatial and temporal relationships among these objects should be efficie...
Real-time evaluation of distributed contact forces between rigid or deformable 3D objects is a key ingredient of 6-DoF force-feedback rendering. Unfortunately, at very high tempora...
