Abstract In this paper we present a mechanism for approximately translating Boolean query constraints across heterogeneous information sources. Achieving the best translation is ch...
We describe a new invariant-based data model for image databases under our approach for shape-based retrieval. The data model relies on contours description of the image shape, an...
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...
There has been a significant amount of excitement and recent work on column-oriented database systems ("column-stores"). These database systems have been shown to perfor...
We present a pipelining, dynamically usercontrollable reorder operator, for use in dataintensive applications. Allowing the user to reorder the data delivery on the fly increases...
