Structured P2P systems in the form of distributed hash tables (DHT) are a promising approach for building massively distributed data management platforms. However, for many applic...
Recognition of a protein’s fold provides valuable information about its function. While many sequence-based homology prediction methods exist, an important challenge remains: tw...
Modeling objects by probability density functions (pdf) is a new powerful method to represent complex objects in databases. By representing an object as a pdf, e.g. a Gaussian, it...
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...
