The growing importance of spatial data has made it imperative that spatial operations be executed efficiently. The most expensive operation is the join for spatial databases. This...
The M-tree is a paged, dynamically balanced metric access method that responds gracefully to the insertion of new objects. To date, no algorithm has been published for the corresp...
This paper presents an approach to performing time-critical collision detection for deformable objects. The deformable objects are represented by dense meshes and their deformatio...
Most recent research on querying and managing data streams has concentrated on traditional data models where the data come in the form of tuples or XML data. Complex types of strea...
With the advent of XML as the de facto language for data publishing and exchange, scalable distribution of XML data to large, dynamic populations of consumers remains an important...
