Lower Bounds for Dynamic Algorithms
We study the complexity of the dynamic partial sum problem in the cell-probe model. We give the model access to nondeterministic queries and prove that the problem remains hard. We...

Fast volume rendering using a shear-warp factorization of the viewing transformation
Several existing volume rendering algorithms operate by factoring the viewing transformation into a 3D shear parallel to the data slices, a projection to form an intermediate but ...

Towards an Analysis of Range Query Performance in Spatial Data Structures
In this paper, we motivate four di erent user de ned window query classes and derive a probabilistic model for each of them. For each model, we characterize the e ciency of spatia...

Hashing by Proximity to Process Duplicates in Spatial Databases
In a spatial database, an object may extend arbitrarily in space. As a result, many spatial data structures e.g., the quadtree, the cell tree, the R+-tree represent an object by p...

Conservative Circuit Simulation on Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
We investigate conservative parallel discrete event simulations for logical circuits on shared-memory multiprocessors. For a first estimation of the possible speedup, we extend th...

The Colored Sector Search Tree: A Dynamic Data Structure for Efficient High Dimensional Nearest-Foreign-Neighbor Queries
Abstract. In this paper we present the new data structure Colored Sector Search Tree (CSST ) for solving the Nearest-Foreign-Neighbor Query Problem (NFNQP ): Given a set S of n col...

Maintaining Spatial Data Sets in Distributed-Memory Machines
We propose a distributed data structure for maintaining spatial data sets on message-passing, distributed memory machines. The data structure is based on orthogonal bisection tree...

d-Dimensional Range Search on Multicomputers
The range tree is a fundamental data structure for multidimensional point sets, and as such, is central in a wide range of geometric anddatabaseapplications. Inthis paper, we desc...
