Disk I/O is a major bottleneck for query processing in database applications. This bottleneck is especially a problem for temporal databases because of their large size. Reduction...
Given a query point and a collection of spatial features, a multi-type nearest neighbor (MTNN) query finds the shortest tour for the query point such that only one instance of eac...
Most operations of the relational algebra or SQL - like projection with duplicate elimination, join, ordering, group by and aggregations - are efficiently processed using a sorted...
In this paper, we investigate a new approach to process queries in data stream applications. We show that reference locality characteristics of data streams could be exploited in ...
