The complexity of deploying high-performance spatial structures in transactional DBMS environments has motivated researchers to experiment with the idea of reusing the effort inve...
The management and query processing of one dimensional intervals is a special case of extended object handling. One dimensional intervals play an important role in temporal databa...
Given a set of N multi-dimensional points, we study the computation of -quantiles according to a ranking function F, which is provided by the user at runtime. Specifically, F compu...
In many image or video retrieval systems, the search of similar objects in the database includes a spatial access method to a multidimensional feature space. This step is generall...
We describe the design and implementation of a new data layout scheme, called multi-dimensional clustering, in DB2 Universal Database Version 8. Many applications, e.g., OLAP and ...
