In this paper, we propose a new strategy for optimizing the placement of bin boundaries to minimize the cost of query evaluation using bitmap indices with binning. For attributes ...
An important trend in Web information processing is the support of multimedia retrieval. However, the most prevailing paradigm for multimedia retrieval, content-based retrieval (C...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a new bulk-loading technique for high-dimensional indexes which represent an important component of multimedia database systems. Since it is ver...
Optimizing queries that involve operations on spatial data requires estimating the selectivity and cost of these operations. In this paper, we focus on estimating the cost of spat...
We consider the network structure and query processing capabilities of social communities like bookmarks and photo sharing communities such as del.icio.us or flickr. A common fea...
