Digital libraries are a core information technology. When the stored data is complex, e.g. high-resolution images or molecular protein structures, simple query types like the exac...
Similarity search in time series databases usually deals with comparing entire time series objects or subsequence search. In this paper, we formalize the notion of interval-focused...
Range searching is among the most fundamental problems in computational geometry. An n-element point set in Rd is given along with an assignment of weights to these points from so...
Sets of DNA strands that satisfy combinatorial constraints play an important role in various approaches to biomolecular computation, nanostructure design, and molecular tagging. Th...
Adaptive Memetic Algorithms couple an evolutionary algorithm with a number of local search heuristics for improving the evolving solutions. They are part of a broad family of meta...
