We study the problem of generating synthetic databases having declaratively specified characteristics. This problem is motivated by database system and application testing, data ...
In recent years, many document image retrieval algorithms have been proposed. However, most of the current approaches either need good quality images or depend on the page layout ...
In the context of physical synthesis, large-scale standard-cell placement algorithms must facilitate incremental changes to layout, both local and global. In particular, flexible...
— Finding the k nearest neighbors (kNN) of a query point, or a set of query points (kNN-Join) are fundamental problems in many application domains. Many previous efforts to solve...
Recently, the issue of functional dependencies in XML (XFDs) have been investigated. In this paper we consider the problem of checking the satisfaction of an XFD in an XML document...
