Abstract-- Particle simulation has become an important research tool in many scientific and engineering fields. Data generated by such simulations impose great challenges to databa...
Spatial indexes, such as the PMR quadtree, are important in spatial databases for efficient execution of queries involving spatial constraints, especially when the queries involv...
We consider the problem of efficiently finding the top-k answers for join queries over web-accessible databases. Classical algorithms for finding top-k answers use branch-and-b...
In this paper, we study a new type of spatial query, Nearest Surrounder (NS), which searches the nearest surrounding spatial objects around a query point. NS query can be more use...
