Optimization of join queries based on average selectivities is suboptimal in highly correlated databases. In such databases, relations are naturally divided into partitions, each ...

The current widespread use of location-based services and GPS technologies has revived interest in very fast and scalable shortest path queries. We introduce a new shortest path q...
In this paper, we consider cracks with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We first derive an asymptotic expansion of the boundary perturbations that are due to the presence of a smal...
Several IR tasks rely, to achieve high efficiency, on a single pervasive data structure called the inverted index. This is a mapping from the terms in a text collection to the docu...
—Crease surfaces are two-dimensional manifolds along which a scalar field assumes a local maximum (ridge) or a local minimum (valley) in a constrained space. Unlike isosurfaces, ...
