Abstract. Term-partitioned indexes are generally inefficient for the evaluation of conjunctive queries, as they require the communication of long posting lists. On the other side, ...
A top-k query retrieves the k highest scoring tuples from a data set with respect to a scoring function defined on the attributes of a tuple. The efficient evaluation of top-k q...

The Bentley-Ottmann sweep-line method can be used to compute the arrangement of planar curves provided a number of geometric primitives operating on the curves are available. We d...
This paper focuses on the NP-hard problem of reducing the complexity of piecewise polyhedral systems (e.g. polyhedral piecewise affine (PWA) systems). The results are fourfold. Fi...
Snap rounding is a method for converting arbitrary-precision arrangements of segments into fixed-precision representation. We present an algorithm for snap rounding with running ...
