ing spatio-temporal data as abstract data types into already existing data models is a promising approach to creating spatio-temporal query languages. In this context, an importan...
We investigate the problem of approximate similarity (nearest neighbor) search in high-dimensional metric spaces, and describe how the distance distribution of the query object ca...
We propose an object-oriented framework for one of the most frequent and costly operations in parallel database systems: the parallel join. The framework independently captures a ...
Web based systems have been shown to be useful tools for supporting educational communication for teachers and students. In this paper we present such a system, which is an Integr...
In this paper we present a software architecture that is dedicated to the development of an information system embedded in a vehicle allowing access to multimedia and geographic d...
The Workflow Management System AltaVista Works has been extended to be able to process workflows in a distributed, partly even parallel manner. Build-time data are replicated over...
