The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
Efficient query processing is one of the basic needs for data mining algorithms. Clustering algorithms, association rule mining algorithms and OLAP tools all rely on efficient quer...
Recovery from intrusions is typically a very time-consuming operation in current systems. At a time when the cost of human resources dominates the cost of computing resources, we ...
Similarity search in metric spaces is a general paradigm that can be used in several application fields. It can also be effectively exploited in content-based image retrieval syst...
A number of applications that use GIS for decision support can potentially be enhanced by the use of high-performance computers, broadband networks and mass data stores. We descri...
