We propose a new storage model called MBSM (Multiresolution Block Storage Model) for laying out tables on disks. MBSM is intended to speed up operations such as scans that are typ...
We consider the problem of finding association rules that make nearly optimal binary segmentations of huge categorical databases. The optimality of segmentation is defined by an o...
Database search for images containing icons with specific mutual spatial relationships can be facilitated by an appropriately structured index. For the case of images containing s...
