The ability to deal with uncertain information is becoming increasingly important for modern database applications. Whereas a conventional (certain) object is usually represented ...
Abstract-- Particle simulation has become an important research tool in many scientific and engineering fields. Data generated by such simulations impose great challenges to databa...
In this paper we present the Brown Dwarf, a distributed system designed to efficiently store, query and update multidimensional data over an unstructured Peer-to-Peer overlay, wit...
Given a query point and a collection of spatial features, a multi-type nearest neighbor (MTNN) query finds the shortest tour for the query point such that only one instance of eac...
Hashing, which tries to learn similarity-preserving binary codes for data representation, has been widely used for efficient nearest neighbor search in massive databases due to i...
