In the geometric data model [6], spatio-temporal data are modelled as a finite collection of triangles that are transformed by time-dependent affinities. To facilitate querying an...
Faceted search is becoming a popular method to allow users to interactively search and navigate complex information spaces. A faceted search system presents users with keyvalue me...
Theoretical analysis of the Web graph is often used to improve the efficiency of search engines. The PageRank algorithm, proposed by [5], is used by the Google search engine [4] t...
