In many application scenarios the database is changing quite rapidly. Because the management of such data is rather expensive and cumbersome, many applications like data warehouse...
A parallel version of the plane sweep algorithm targeted towards the small number of processing cores available on commonly available multi-core systems is presented. Experimental...
Research in temporal databases has mainly focused on defining temporal data models by extending existing models, and developing access structures for temporal data. Little has bee...
Most similarity search techniques map the data objects into some high-dimensional feature space. The similarity search then corresponds to a nearest-neighbor search in the feature...
When storing data in heterogeneous databases, one of the top-down design issues concerns the usage of multiple query languages. A common language enables querying of database schem...
