We propose a two-pha.se algorithm for physical database design. In phase one the algorithm, for each logical query, losesrules to determine characteristics of a physical design (s...
The reverse k-nearest neighbor (RkNN) problem, i.e. finding all objects in a data set the k-nearest neighbors of which include a specified query object, is a generalization of the...
Relevance feedback is an attractive approach to developing flexible metrics for content-based retrieval in image and video databases. Large image databases require an index struct...
Location-based spatial queries (LBSQs) refer to spatial queries whose answers rely on the location of the inquirer. Efficient processing of LBSQs is of critical importance with th...
Query processing is one of the most, critical issues in Object-Oriented DBMSs. Extensible opt,imizers with efficient, search strategies require a cost model to select the most eff...
