Let P be a set of n points in R^2. Given a rectangle Q = [\alpha_1, \alpha_2] x [\beta_1, \beta_2], a range skyline query returns the maxima of the points in P \cap Q. An important variant is the so-called top-open queries, where Q is a…
The skyline of a set of points in the plane is the subset of maximal points, where a point $(x,y)$ is maximal if no other point $(x',y')$ satisfies $x'\ge x$ and $y'\ge Y$. We consider the problem of preprocessing a set $P$ of $n$ points…
In the planar range skyline reporting problem, we store a set P of n 2D points in a structure such that, given a query rectangle Q = [a_1, a_2] x [b_1, b_2], the maxima (a.k.a. skyline) of P \cap Q can be reported efficiently. The query is…
Skyline, aiming at finding a Pareto optimal subset of points in a multi-dimensional dataset, has gained great interest due to its extensive use for multi-criteria analysis and decision making. The skyline consists of all points that are not…
Living in the Information Age allows almost everyone have access to a large amount of information and options to choose from in order to fulfill their needs. In many cases, the amount of information available and the rate of change may hide…
Skyline queries are one of the most widely adopted tools for Multi-Criteria Analysis, with applications covering diverse domains, including, e.g., Database Systems, Data Mining, and Decision Making. Skylines indeed offer a useful overview…

The task of similarity search in multimedia databases is usually accomplished by range or k nearest neighbor queries. However, the expressing power of these "single-example" queries fails when the user's delicate query intent is not…
Computing cost optimal paths in network data is a very important task in many application areas like transportation networks, computer networks or social graphs. In many cases, the cost of an edge can be described by various cost criteria.…
Skyline queries are important in many application domains. In this paper, we propose a novel structure Skyline Diagram, which given a set of points, partitions the plane into a set of regions, referred to as skyline polyominos. All query…
In this paper we study skyline queries in the distributed computational model, where we have $s$ remote sites and a central coordinator (the query node); each site holds a piece of data, and the coordinator wants to compute the skyline of…
Given a set of $n$ points in a $d$-dimensional space, we seek to compute the skyline, i.e., those points that are not strictly dominated by any other point, using few comparisons between elements. We adopt the noisy comparison model…
Skyline computation is an increasingly popular query, with broad applicability in domains such as healthcare, travel and finance. Given the recent trend to outsource databases and query evaluation, and due to the proprietary and sometimes…
The existing algorithms for processing skyline queries cannot adapt to big data. This paper proposes two approximate skyline algorithms based on sampling. The first algorithm obtains a fixed size sample and computes the approximate skyline…
As more data-intensive applications emerge, advanced retrieval semantics, such as ranking or skylines, have attracted attention. Geographic information systems are such an application with massive spatial data. Our goal is to efficiently…
User preference queries are very important in spatial databases. With the help of these queries, one can found best location among points saved in database. In many situation users evaluate quality of a location with its distance from its…

Multi-criteria decision making has been made possible with the advent of skyline queries. However, processing such queries for high dimensional datasets remains a time consuming task. Real-time applications are thus infeasible, especially…
Skyline computation is an essential database operation that has many applications in multi-criteria decision making scenarios such as recommender systems. Existing algorithms have focused on checking point domination, which lack efficiency…
While classical skyline queries identify interesting data within large datasets, flexible skylines introduce preferences through constraints on attribute weights, and further reduce the data returned. However, computing these queries can be…
