: Entities in engineering design databases need to evolve in both structure and behavior. Such a need is not well addressed by object-oriented data models based on the class concep...
We present in this paper ObjectRunner, a system for extracting, integrating and querying structured data from the Web. Our system harvests real-world items from template-based HTM...
Modern database applications show a growing demand for efficient and dynamic management of intervals, particularly for temporal and spatial data or for constraint handling. Common...
In this paper we study the problem of designing concurrent searchable data structures with performance guarantees that can be used in a distributed environment where data elements...
During the last decade various spatial data structures have been designed and compared against each other, all of them re ecting a dynamic situation with ongoing object insertion a...
