Appropriately selected materialized views (also called indexed views) can speed up query execution by orders of magnitude. Most database systems limit support for materialized vie...
Global clustering has rarely been investigated in the area of spatial database systems although dramatic performance improvements can be achieved by using suitable techniques. In ...
We describe a novel parallel randomized search algorithm for two-player games. The algorithm is a randomized version of Korf and Chickering's best-first search. Randomization...
Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) is a volume rendering technique which is used to visualize high-intensity structures within volumetric data. At each pixel the highest data valu...
Transform approximations are explored for speeding up the software compression of images and video. Faster approximations are used to replace the regular DCT whenever only few DCT...
