Efficient user-adaptable similarity search more and more increases in its importance for multimedia and spatial database systems. As a general similarity model for multi-dimension...
Similarity search in texts, notably in biological sequences, has received substantial attention in the last few years. Numerous filtration and indexing techniques have been create...
Nearest neighbor (NN) search in high dimensional space is an important problem in many applications. Ideally, a practical solution (i) should be implementable in a relational data...
Three join algorithms are evaluated in an environment with distributed main-memory based mediators and data sources. A streamed ship-out join ships bulks of tuples to a mediator ne...
NAND Flash has become the most popular stable storage medium for embedded systems. As on-board storage capacity increases, the need for efficient indexing techniques arises. Such ...
