The R*-tree, as a state-of-the-art spatial index, has already found its way into commercial systems like Oracle. In this paper, we aim at improving query performance of the R*tree...
Table partitioning splits a table into smaller parts that can be accessed, stored, and maintained independent of one another. From their traditional use in improving query perform...
Probabilistic models have recently been utilized for the optimization of large combinatorial search problems. However, complex probabilistic models that attempt to capture interpa...
