(Best paper award winner) Scalable Network Distance Browsing in Spatial Databases (2009)

Hanan Samet, Jagan Sankaranarayanan, Houman Alborzi

An algorithm is presented for finding the k nearest neighbors in a spatial network in a best-first manner using network distance. The algorithm is based on precomputing the shortest paths between all...

A. Sand Spatial Browser (2008)

Jagan Sankaranarayanan, Houman Alborzi, Hanan Samet, B. Sand

A system that enables real time query processing on large spatial networks is demonstrated. The system provides functionality for processing a wide range of spatial queries such as nearest neighbor...

2 The k-client problem (2008)

Houman Alborzi, Eric Torng, Patchrawat Uthaisombut, Stephen Wagner, Eric Torng

Virtually all previous research in on-line algorithms has focused on single-threaded systems where only a single sequence of requests compete for system resources. To model multi-threaded on-line...

General Terms (2008)

Jagan Sankaranarayanan, Houman Alborzi, Hanan Samet

The result of a distance join operation on two sets of objects R, S on a spatial network G is a set P of object pairs <p, q>, p ∈ R, q ∈ S such that the distance of an object pair <p,...

2 The k-client problem (2007)

Houman Alborzi, Patchrawat Uthaisombut, Stephen Wagner, Eric Torng, Eric Torng

Virtually all previous research in on-line algorithms has focused on single-threaded systems where only a single sequence of requests compete for system resources. To model multi-threaded on-line...

Geometric Issues in Spatial Indexing (2006)

Alborzi, Houman

We address a number of geometric issues in spatial indexes. One area of interest is spherical data. Two main examples are the locations of stars in the sky and geodesic data. The first part of this...

Thesis (Ph. D.) -- University of Maryland, College Park, 2006.

Efficient query processing on spatial networks (2005)

Jagan Sankaranarayanan, Houman Alborzi, Hanan Samet

A framework for determining the shortest path and the distance between every pair of vertices on a spatial network is presented. The framework, termed SILC, uses path coherence between the shortest...

Use of the SAND spatial browser for digital government applications (2003)

Hanan Samet, Houman Alborzi, Claudio Esperança, Gísli R. Hjaltason, Frank Morgan, Egemen Tanin

Numerous federal agencies produce official statistics made accessible to ordinary citizens for searching and data retrieval. This is frequently done via the Internet through a Web browser interface....

Interactive Video Posters StoryKit: Tools for children to build room-sized interactive (2001)

Lisa Sherman, Allison Druin, Jaime Montemayor, Allison Farber, Michele Platner, Sante Simms, ...

Children enjoy interactive museum experiences, tim houses, and amusement parks, but children are not the authors of these immersive storytelling experiences. They are merely the audience or...

The k-Client Problem (2001)

Houman Alborzi, Eric Torng, Patchrawat Uthaisombut, Stephen Wagner

Virtually all previous research in online algorithms has focused on single-threaded systems where only a single sequence of requests compete for system resources. To model multithreaded online...
