Distance browsing queries, namely k-nearest neighbor queries, are the most important queries in spatial database applications, e.g., Geographic Information Systems(GISs). Recently, GIS applications trends to extend themselves toward wide multi-user environments such as the Web. Since many techniques for such queries, where Hjaltason and Samet's algorithm is the most efficient one, were optimized for only one query, we need to complement them suitable for multi-user environments. It can be a good approach that we store many individual query results in a cache, i.e., query result caching and reuse them in evaluating incoming queries, j.e., query result matching. In this paper, we propose a complementary Hjaltason and Samet's algerian capable of reusing previous query results in a cache for answering distance browsing queries in multi-user GIS environments. Our experimental results conform the efficiency of our approach.

This study compared and analyzed 15 CBMR (Content-based Music Retrieval) systems accessible on the web in terms of DB size and type, query type, access point, input and output type, and search functions, with reviewing features of music information and techniques used for transforming or transcribing of music sources, extracting and segmenting melodies, extracting and indexing features of music, and matching algorithms for CBMR systems. Application of text information retrieval techniques such as inverted indexing, N-gram indexing, Boolean search, truncation, keyword and phrase search, normalization, filtering, browsing, exact matching, similarity measure using edit distance, sorting, etc. to enhancing the CBMR; effort for increasing DB size and usability; and problems in extracting melodies, deleting stop notes in queries, and using solfege as pitch information were found as the results of analysis.
