In this paper we describe a new efficient (in fact optimal) data structure for the top-K color problem. Each element of an array A is assigned a color c with priority p(c). For a ...
An important issue arising from Peer-to-Peer applications is how to accurately and efficiently retrieve a set of K best matching data objects from different sources while minimizi...
Processing of top-k queries has been attracting considerable attention. Much of the work assumes distributed data, with each site holding a different set of attributes for the sam...
Advanced Data Mining applications require more and more support from relational database engines. Especially clustering applications in high dimensional features space demand a pr...
Query processing in traditional information management systems has moved from an exact match model to more flexible paradigms allowing cooperative retrieval by aggregating the dat...
