Although k-means clustering is often applied to time series clustering, the underlying Euclidean distance measure is very restrictive in comparison to the human perception of time ...
Skyline queries help users make intelligent decisions over complex data, where different and often conflicting criteria are considered. A challenging problem is to support skylin...
Abstract. We show how to specify and use the metadata for a virtual and relational data integration system under the local-as-view (LAV) approach. We use XML and RuleML for represe...
P2P systems are increasingly used for efficient, scalable data sharing. Popular applications focus on massive file sharing. However, advanced applications such as online communiti...

With the specifications defined through the Sensor Web Enablement initiative of the Open Geospatial Consortium, flexible integration of sensor data is becoming a reality. Challe...
Abstract. Often the information present in a spatial knowledge base is represented at a different level of granularity and abstraction than the query constraints. For querying onto...

As directories of named places, gazetteers link the names to geographic footprints and place types. Most existing gazetteers are managed strictly top-down: entries can only be adde...
An ontology of observation and measurement is proposed, which models the relevant information processes independently of sensor technology. It is kept at a sufficiently general lev...
