The computation of the skyline provides a mechanism for utilizing multiple location-based criteria to identify optimal data points. However, the efficiency of these computations diminishes and becomes more challenging as the input data…
Top-$k$ queries and skylines are the two most common approaches to finding the most interesting entries in a homogeneous multi-dimensional dataset. However, both of these strategies have some shortcomings. Top-$k$ queries are very…
Preference queries incorporate the notion of binary preference relation into relational database querying. Instead of returning all the answers, such queries return only the best answers, according to a given preference relation. Preference…
The question of how to get the best results out of the data we have is an everlasting problem in data science. The two main approaches to tackle the problem are top-k queries and skyline queries. Since their introduction, a new paradigm…
We discuss a method of finding skyline or non-dominated sites in a set $P$ of $n$ point sites with respect to a set $S$ of $m$ points. A site $p \in P$ is non-dominated if and only if for each $q \in P \setminus \{p\}$, there exists at…
To retrieve the best results in a database we use Top-K queries and Skyline queries but some problems arise. The formers rely too much on user preferences, which are difficult to quantify and may skew the fetching of the data, while the…
$k$ nearest neighbor ($k$NN) queries and skyline queries are important operators on multi-dimensional data points. Given a query point, $k$NN query returns the $k$ nearest neighbors based on a scoring function such as a weighted sum of the…
The multi-objective optimization problem has always been the main objective of the principal traditional approaches, such as Ranking queries and Skyline queries. The conventional idea was to either use one or the other, trying to exploit…
There are two most common paradigms that are used in order to identify records of preference in a multi-objective settings, one relies on dominance, like the skyline operator, the other instead, on a utility function defined over the…
The Wireless GIS technology is progressing rapidly in the area of mobile communications. Location-based spatial queries are becoming an integral part of many new mobile applications. The Skyline queries are latest apps under Location-based…
Restricted skyline (rskyline) query is widely used in multi-criteria decision making. It generalizes the skyline query by additionally considering a set of personalized scoring functions F. Since uncertainty is inherent in datasets for…
Skyline and ranking queries are two of the most used tools to manage large data sets. The former is based on non-dominance, while the latter on a scoring function. Despite their effectiveness, they have some drawbacks like the result size…
Platforms such as AirBnB, Zillow, Yelp, and related sites have transformed the way we search for accommodation, restaurants, etc. The underlying datasets in such applications have numerous attributes that are mostly Boolean or Categorical.…
The problem of selecting the most representative tuples from a dataset has led to the development of powerful tools, among which Skyline and Ranking (or Top-k) queries stand out for their ability to support the optimization of multiple…
Skyline queries typically search a Pareto-optimal set from a given data set to solve the corresponding multiobjective optimization problem. As the number of criteria increases, the skyline presumes excessive data items, which yield a…
In today's data-driven world, algorithms operating with vertically distributed datasets are crucial due to the increasing prevalence of large-scale, decentralized data storage. These algorithms enhance data privacy by processing data…
Ranking (or top-k) and skyline queries are the most popular approaches used to extract interesting data from large datasets. The first one is based on a scoring function to evaluate and rank tuples. Its computation is fast, but it is…
Skyline computation aims at looking for the set of tuples that are not worse than any other tuples in all dimensions from a multidimensional database. In this paper, we present SDI (Skyline on Dimension Index), a dimension indexing…
Top-k and skylines are two important techniques that can be used to extract the best objects from a set. Both the approaches have well-known pros and cons: a quite big limitation of skyline queries is the impossibility to control the…
To make intelligent decisions over complex data by discovering a set of interesting options is something that has become very important for users of modern applications. Consequently, researchers are studying new techniques to overcome…
