In this paper we propose the use of fractals and especially the Hilbert curve, in order to design good distance-preserving mappings. Such mappings improve the performance of secon...
Distributed key-value stores are now a standard component of high-performance web services and cloud computing applications. While key-value stores offer significant performance...
Geographical Information Systems (GIS) involve the manipulation of large spatial data sets, and the performance of these systems is often determined by how these data sets are orga...
