Query processing techniques for XML data have focused mainly on tree-pattern queries (TPQs). However, the need for querying XML data sources whose structure is very complex or not...
There is an increasing need to integrate spatial index structures into commercial database management systems. In geographic information systems (GIS), huge amounts of information ...
We introduce a new theoretical derivation, evaluation methods, and extensive empirical analysis for an automatic query expansion framework in which model estimation is cast as a r...
In this Chapter we present the modification of a Differential Evolution algorithm to solve constrained optimization problems. The changes include a deterministic and a self-adapti...
- Redundant via insertion and line end extension employed in the post-routing stage are two well known and highly recommended techniques to reduce yield loss due to via failure. Ho...
