	abstract =	{An indexing scheme for solving the problem of nearest
	neighbor queries in generic metric feature spaces for content-based
	retrieval is proposed aiming to break the "dimensionality curse." The
	basis for the proposed method is the partitioning of the feature
	dataset into a fixed number of clusters that are represented by single
	buoys. Upon submission of a query request, only a small number of
	clusters whose buoys are close to the query object are considered for
	the approximate query result, cutting down the amount of data to be
	processed effectively. Results from extensive experimentation
	concerning the retrieval accuracy are given. The influence of control
	parameters is investigated with respect to the tradeoff between
	retrieval accuracy and query execution time.},
