Fast query processing of complex objects, e.g. spatial or uncertain objects, depends on efficient spatial pruning of the objects’ approximations, which are typically minimum bou...
The aggregated structure of documents plays a key role in full-text, multimedia, and network Information Retrieval (IR). Considering aggregation provides new querying facilities a...
Several advanced applications, such as those dealing with the Web, need to handle data whose structure is not known a-priori. Such requirement severely limits the applicability of ...
Abstract. An algorithm for ranking spatial objects according to increasing distance from a query object is introduced and analyzed. The algorithm makes use of a hierarchical spatia...
Many contemporary database applications require similarity-based retrieval of complex objects where the only usable knowledge of its domain is determined by a metric distance func...
