— In recent years, the research community introduced various methods for processing skyline queries in multidimensional databases. The skyline operator retrieves all objects bein...
—In this demonstration paper, we present a powerful distributed framework for finding similar trajectories in a smartphone network, without disclosing the traces of participatin...
Random sampling is a popular technique for providing fast approximate query answers, especially in data warehouse environments. Compared to other types of synopses, random sampling...
TPR-tree is a practical index structure for moving object databases. Due to the uniform distribution assumption, TPR-tree’s bulk loading algorithm (TPR) is relatively inefficie...
Proximity searching consists in retrieving from a database, objects that are close to a query. For this type of searching problem, the most general model is the metric space, where...
