As new computer architectures are developed to exploit large-scale data-level parallelism, techniques are needed to retarget legacy sequential code to these platforms. Sequential ...
Moving objects databases managing spatial objects with continuously changing position and extent over time have recently found large interest in the database community. Queries ab...
Relational index structures, as for instance the Relational Interval Tree or the Linear Quadtree, support efficient processing of queries on top of existing object-relational datab...
