During the last decade, multimedia databases have become increasingly important in many
application areas such as medicine, CAD, geography, and molecular biology. An important …

Data Mining: Concepts and Techniques, Fourth Edition introduces concepts, principles, and
methods for mining patterns, knowledge, and models from various kinds of data for diverse …

Update anywhere-anytime-anyway transactional replication has unstable behavior as the
workload scales up: a ten-fold increase in nodes and traffic gives a thousand fold increase in …

We compare two different techniques for browsing through a collection of spatial objects
stored in an R-tree spatial data structure on the basis of their distances from an arbitrary …

We propose probabilistic location to enhance the performance of existing peer-to-peer
location mechanisms in the case where a replica for the queried data item exists close to the …

Multidimensional access methods have shown high potential for significant performance
improvements in various application domains. However, only few approaches have made …

Data structures are critical in any data-driven scenario, but they are notoriously hard to
design due to a massive design space and the dependence of performance on workload …

Selectivity estimation of queries is an important and well-studied problem in relational
database systems. In this paper, we examine selectivity estimation in the context of …

We introduce the concept of design continuums for the data layout of key-value stores. A
design continuum unifies major distinct data structure designs under the same model. The …

This book is an introduction to the young and fast-growing field of data mining (also known
as knowledge discovery from data, or KDD for short). The book focuses on fundamental data …
