Let S be a set of n intervals in R, and let (S, +) be any commutative semigroup. We assign a weight ω(s) ∈ S to each interval in S. For a point x ∈ R, let S(x) ⊆ S be the se...

Peer Data Management Systems (PDMS) are a natural extension of heterogeneous database systems. One of the main tasks in such systems is efficient query processing. Insisting on co...
Given a set D = {d1, d2, ..., dD} of D strings of total length n, our task is to report the "most relevant" strings for a given query pattern P. This involves somewhat mo...
This paper presents a unified approach to colour image coding, content-based indexing, and retrieval for database applications. The binary space partitioning (BSP) tree, tradition...
In this paper, we present two linear-size external memory data structures for approximate range searching. Our first structure, the BAR-B-tree, stores a set of N points in Rd and ...
