This paper describes a new benchmark for object-relational DBMSs, the Benchmark for Object-Relational Databases (BORD). BORD has been developed to evaluate system performance pecul...
A probabilistic learning model for vague queries and missing or imprecise information in databases is described. Instead of retrieving only a set of answers, our approach yields a...
An important problem for many location-based applications is the continuous evaluation of proximity relations among moving objects. These relations express whether a given set of ...
The ODMG proposal has helped to focus the work on object-oriented databases (OODBs) onto a common object model and query language. Nevertheless there are several shortcomings of t...
By mapping a set of input images to points in a lowdimensional manifold or subspace, it is possible to efficiently account for a small number of degrees of freedom. For example, i...
