A novel indexing and access method, called Affinity Hybrid Tree (AH-Tree), is proposed to organize large image data sets efficiently and to support popular image access mechanisms...
Incomplete information arises naturally in numerous data management applications. Recently, several researchers have studied query processing in the context of incomplete informat...
We study the problem of answering queries through a target schema, given a set of mappings between one or more source schemas and this target schema, and given that the data is at...
We address the challenge of semantic gap reduction for image retrieval through an improved SVM-based active relevance feedback framework, together with a hybrid visual and concept...
We rework parts of the classical relational theory when the underlying domain is a structure with some interpreted operations that can be used in queries. We identify parts of the...
