Abstract. We have defined an XML structural index called the Structure Index Tree (SIT), which eliminates duplicate structures arising from the equivalent subtrees in an XML docume...
Traditional indexes aim at optimizing the node accesses during query processing, which, however, does not necessarily minimize the total cost due to the possibly large number of r...
We present a new indexing method named ZINC (for Z-order Indexing with Nested Code) that supports efficient skyline computation for data with both totally and partially ordered at...
Several stochastic models provide an effective framework to identify the temporal structure of audiovisual data. Most of them need as input a first video structure, i.e. connecti...
The wide deployment of wireless sensor and RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) devices is one of the key enablers for next-generation pervasive computing applications, including...
