Abstract—We propose a novel collaborative caching framework to support spatial query processing in Mobile Peer-toPeer Networks (MP2PNs). To maximize cache sharing among clients, ...
Current Information Retrieval systems use inverted index structures for efficient query processing. Due to the extremely large size of many data sets, these index structures are u...
Metric access methods (MAMs), such as the M-tree, are powerful index structures for supporting ty queries on metric spaces, which represent a common abstraction for those searchin...
Although spatio-temporal databases have received considerable attention recently, there has been little work on processing range sum queries on the historical records of moving ob...
Existing encoding schemes and index structures proposed for XML query processing primarily target the containment relationship, specifically the parent
Abstract. Both Geographic Information Systems and Information Retrieval have been very active research fields in the last decades. Lately, a new research field called Geographic In...
Index structures for multiple sets can be classified into those that group entries according to their key values and those that group entries according to their set membership. Th...
Abstract: Recently there has been an increasing interest in supporting bulk operations on multidimensional index structures. Bulk loading refers to the process of creating an initi...

While the B-tree (or the B+ -tree) is the most popular index structure in disk-based relational database systems, the Ttree has been widely accepted as a promising index structure...
