We consider extending decision support facilities toward large sophisticated networks, upon which multidimensional attributes are associated with network entities, thereby forming...
With the explosion in the amount of semi-structured data users access and store in personal information management systems, there is a need for complex search tools to retrieve of...
Abstract Existing spatiotemporal indexes suffer from either large update cost or poor query performance, except for the Bx -tree (the state-of-the-art), which consists of multiple ...
Top-k queries based on ranking elements of multidimensional datasets are a fundamental building block for many kinds of information discovery. The best known general-purpose algor...
Despite the importance of ranked queries in numerous applications involving multi-criteria decision making, they are not efficiently supported by traditional database systems. In ...
