Background: Inference of evolutionary trees using the maximum likelihood principle is NP-hard. Therefore, all practical methods rely on heuristics. The topological transformations...
Spatial databases support a variety of geometric queries on point data such as range searches, nearest neighbor searches, etc. Balanced Aspect Ratio (BAR) trees are hierarchical sp...
In energy constrained wireless sensor networks, energy conservation techniques are to be applied in order to maximize the system lifetime. We tackle the problem of increasing netw...
Nearest neighbor queries are important in many settings, including spatial databases (Find the k closest cities) and multimedia databases (Find the k most similar images). Previou...
This paper proposes a hash function family based on feature vocabularies and investigates the application in building indexes for image search. Each hash function is associated wi...
