An Effective Indexing and Retrieval Approach for Temporal Cases

In this work D-HS T, a novel, effective indexing technique for cases with temporal attributes is presented. It is shown to be more competent, and efficient than the widely used F-Index approach based on a series of experiments using 5 synthetically generated case-bases. Additional benefits include its scalability and its suitability for indexing both temporal and non-temporal attributes alike.
