A RkNN query returns all objects whose nearest k neighbors contain the query object. In this paper, we consider RkNN query processing in the case where the distances between attri...
In many database applications involving string data, it is common to have near neighbor queries (asking for strings that are similar to a query string) or nearest neighbor queries...
The K-Closest-Pairs Query (K-CPQ), a type of distance join in spatial databases, discovers the K pairs of objects formed from two different datasets with the K smallest distances....

A common problem in many types of databases is retrieving the most similar matches to a query object. Finding those matches in a large database can be too slow to be practical, es...
Index trees created using distance based indexing are difficult to maintain online since the distance function involved is often costly to compute. This problem is intensified whe...
