In this paper, we propose the Hybrid-Layer Index (simply, the HL-index) that is designed to answer top-k queries efficiently when the queries are expressed on any arbitrary subset ...
Given a record set D and a query score function F, a top-k query returns k records from D, whose values of function F on their attributes are the highest. In this paper, we investi...
In this study we investigated the perspective offered by coupling a simple vegetation growth model and ground-based remotely-sensed data for the monitoring of wheat production. A ...
Abstract. In this paper, we investigate two novel indexing schemes called DHS and D-HS+PSR(II) designed for use in case-based reasoning systems. D-HS is based on a matrix of cases ...
The need to access spatial data at multiple levels of detail is a fundamental requirement of many applications of geographical information, yet conventional spatial database access...
