The most useful environments for advancing research and development in video databases are those that provide complete video database management, including (1) video preprocessing for content representation and indexing, (2) storage management for video, metadata and indices, (3) image and semantic -based query processing, (4) realtime buffer management, and (5) continuous media streaming. Such...

Database outsourcing is an idea to eliminate the burden of database management from organizations. Since data is a critical asset of organizations, preserving its privacy from outside adversary and untrusted server should be warranted. In this paper, we present a distributed scheme based on storing shares of data on different servers and separating indexes from data on a distinct server. Shamir...

Craniofacial Database System has been developed for storing, manipulation and analysis with Geometric Morphometrics concept. The main objective of the system is to store the normal craniofacial (face and/or skull) of Malaysian people. The ‘normal’ is used for reference in many areas such as surgical planning, forensic, gear protective design, and anthropology researches. The data with which we ...

Storage costs are rapidly decreasing, making it feasible to store larger amounts of data in databases. This also makes it possible to store previous versions of data in the databases, instead of only keeping the last version. Recently, the amount of data available in XML has been rapidly increasing. In this paper, we describe TeXOR, a temporal XML database system built on top of an object-relat...

Object oriented database systems typically o er a variety of structuring capabilities to model complex objects This exibility together with type or class hierarchies and computed attributes methods poses a high demand on the physical design of object oriented databases Similar to traditional databases it is hardly ever true that the conceptual structure of the database is also a good that is e ...

Current object database management systems support user-defined conversion functions to update the database once the schema has been modified. Two main strategies are possible when implementing such database conversion functions: immediate or lasy database updates. In this paper, we concentrate our attention to the definition of implementation strategies for conversion functions implemented as ...

This paper describes the Multiware Database, a database capable to store and manage complex multimedia documents using the features of both object database management systems and open distributed systems. This multimedia database is a component of the Multiware project, a platform supporting distributed multimedia cooperative applications. Representation of multimedia documents in this system i...
