Textual fields are commonly used in databases and applications to capture details that are difficult to formalize—comments, notes, and product descriptions. With the rise of t...
Successful information management implies the ability to design accurate representations of the real world of interest, in spite of the diversity of perceptions from the applicati...
With rapidly decreasing storage costs, temporal document databases are now a viable solution in many contexts. However, storing an ever-growing database can still be too costly, a...
Abstract. In object-oriented or object-relational databases such as multimedia databases or most XML databases, access patterns are not static, i.e., applications do not always acc...
The term registry is widely used to refer to any database storing clinical information collected as a byproduct of patient care. Despite the use of this single characterizing term...
We present an algorithm for polyline (and polygon) similarity testing that is based on the double-cross formalism. To determine the degree of similarity between two polylines, the...
