A comparison of several indexing techniques for complex object in object-oriented database systems is presented, based on assumption of non-uniform distribution of attribute value...
One of the most important operations in spatial access needed systems are spatial joins. Using for processing such operations R-tree like structures is intensively studies now. Th...
It is by now folklore that the bottom-up evaluation of a program after the “magic set” transformation is “as efficient as” top-down evaluation. There are a number of forma...
In this paper, we propose a new tunable index scheme, called iMinMax, that maps points in high dimensional spaces to single dimension values determined by their maximum or minimu...
