We present a shape definition language, called SDC, for retrieving objects based on shapes contained in the histories associated with these objects. It is a small, yet powerful, l...

We describe an eficient server-based algorithm for garbage collecting object-oriented databases in a client/server environment. The algorithm is incremental and runs concurrently ...

We present a data structure used to represent planar spatial databases in the topological data model. Conceptually, such databases consist of points, lines between these points, an...
Spatial data mining, i.e., discovery of interesting, implicit knowledge in spatial databases, is an important task for understanding and use of spatial data- and knowledge-bases. I...
Abstract. An algorithm for ranking spatial objects according to increasing distance from a query object is introduced and analyzed. The algorithm makes use of a hierarchical spatia...
A warehouse is a repository of integrated information drawn from remote data sources. Since a warehouse e ectively implements materialized views, we must maintain the views as the...

A number of execution strategies for parallel evaluation of multi-join queries have been proposed in the literature; their performance was evaluated by simulation. In this paper w...

Implementing crash recovery in an Object-Oriented Database System (OODBMS) raises several challenging issues for performance that are not present in traditional DBMSs. These perfo...
