In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...
Abstract. Many different index structures have been proposed for spatial databases to support efficient query processing. However, most of these index structures suffer from an exp...
Queries for composite events typically involve the four complementary dimensions of event data, event composition, relationships between events (esp. temporal and causal), and acc...
This paper addresses the problem of using the Location IDentifier (LID) as the domain value of the index for trajectories of RFID tags and proposes the solution for solving this p...
In this paper, we present an efficient region-based video coding scheme. The region partioning is optimized according to a rate-distortion criterion in order to achieve constant b...
