• Efficient and Compact Representations of Some Non-canonical Prefix-Free Codes 

      Fariña, Antonio; Gagie, Travis; Manzini, Giovanni; Navarro, Gonzalo; Ordóñez, Alberto (Springer, 2016-09-21)
      [Abstract] For many kinds of prefix-free codes there are efficient and compact alternatives to the traditional tree-based representation. Since these put the codes into canonical form, however, they can only be used when ...
    • Efficient Representation of Multidimensional Data over Hierarchical Domains 

      Brisaboa, Nieves R.; Cerdeira-Pena, Ana; López López, Narciso; Navarro, Gonzalo; Penabad, Miguel R.; Silva-Coira, Fernando (Springer, 2016-09-21)
      [Abstract] We consider the problem of representing multidimensional data where the domain of each dimension is organized hierarchically, and the queries require summary information at a different node in the hierarchy of ...
    • Exploiting Computation-Friendly Graph Compression Methods for Adjacency-Matrix Multiplication 

      Francisco, Alexandre P.; Gagie, Travis; Ladra, Susana; Navarro, Gonzalo (IEEE Computer Society, 2018-03)
      [Abstract] Computing the product of the (binary) adjacency matrix of a large graph with a real-valued vector is an important operation that lies at the heart of various graph analysis tasks, such as computing PageRank. In ...
    • GraCT: A Grammar Based Compressed Representation of Trajectories 

      Brisaboa, Nieves R.; Gómez-Brandón, Adrián; Navarro, Gonzalo; Paramá, José R. (Springer, 2016-09-21)
      [Abstract] We present a compressed data structure to store free trajectories of moving objects (ships over the sea, for example) allowing spatio-temporal queries. Our method, GraCT, uses a k2k2 -tree to store the absolute ...
    • Improved Compressed String Dictionaries 

      Brisaboa, Nieves R.; Cerdeira-Pena, Ana; Bernardo, Guillermo de; Navarro, Gonzalo (ACM, 2019-11-03)
      [Abstract] We introduce a new family of compressed data structures to efficiently store and query large string dictionaries in main memory. Our main technique is a combination of hierarchical Front-coding with ideas from ...
    • Navigational Rule Derivation: An algorithm to determine the effect of traffic signs on road networks 

      Galaktionov, Daniil; Rodríguez Luaces, Miguel; Saavedra Places, Ángeles (2016-11-17)
      [Abstract] In this paper we present an algorithm to build a road network map enriched with traffic rules such as one-way streets and forbidden turns, based on the interpretation of already detected and classified traffic ...
    • Revisiting Compact RDF Stores Based on k2-Trees 

      Brisaboa, Nieves R.; Cerdeira-Pena, Ana; Bernardo, Guillermo de; Fariña, Antonio (IEEE Xplore, 2020-03)
      [Abstract]: We present a new compact representation to efficiently store and query large RDF datasets in main memory. Our proposal, called BMatrix, is based on the k 2 -tree, a data structure devised to represent binary ...
    • Succinct Data Structures in the Realm of GIS 

      Brisaboa, Nieves R.; Gutiérrez-Asorey, Pablo; Rodríguez Luaces, Miguel; Varela Rodeiro, Tirso (MDPI, 2021)
      [Abstract] Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have spread all over our technological environment in the last decade. The inclusion of GPS technologies in everyday portable devices along with the creation of massive ...
    • Tool for SPARQL Querying over Compact RDF Representations 

      Ramos-Vidal, Delfina; Bernardo, Guillermo de (MDPI, 2021)
      [Abstract] We present an architecture for the efficient storing and querying of large RDF datasets. Our approach seeks to store RDF datasets in very little space while offering complete SPARQL functionality. To achieve ...
    • Towards a Compact Representation of Temporal Rasters 

      Cerdeira-Pena, Ana; Bernardo, Guillermo de; Fariña, Antonio; Paramá, José R.; Silva-Coira, Fernando (Springer Nature, 2018-09)
      [Abstract]: Big research efforts have been devoted to efficiently manage spatio-temporal data. However, most works focused on vectorial data, and much less, on raster data. This work presents a new representation for raster ...
    • Towards a Non-Functional Requirements Discovery Approach for Persuasive Systems 

      Condori Fernández, Nelly; Araujo, Joao; Catalá, Alejandro; Lago, Patricia (Association for Computing Machinery, 2020-03-30)
      [Abstract] A number of software systems that attempt to help people achieve behavior change have been proposed in various domains such as health and wellness. However, sometimes, such systems have failed to provide a ...
    • Towards a Semi-Automated Data-Driven Requirements Prioritization Approach for Reducing Stakeholder Participation in SPL Development 

      Limaylla-Lunarejo, María-Isabel; Condori Fernández, Nelly; Rodríguez Luaces, Miguel (MDPI, 2021)
      [Abstract] Requirements prioritization (RP), part of Requirements engineering (RE), is an essential activity of Software Product-Lines (SPL) paradigm. Similar to standard systems, the identification and prioritization of ...
