With the proliferation of multimedia data, there is increasing need to support the indexing and searching of high dimensional data. Recently, a vector approximation based techniqu...
—As databases increasingly integrate different types of information such as multimedia, spatial, time-series, and scientific data, it becomes necessary to support efficient retri...
We examine applications of clustering to the filtering task. We use the on-line version of the star algorithm [JPR98, JPR99] as the clustering tool because this algorithm compute...
An e ective bu er management system is crucial for any database management system. While much work has been expended to provide extensible data types,extensible query languages an...
