People recently are interested in a new operator, called skyline [3], which returns the objects that are not dominated by any other objects with regard to certain measures in a multi-dimensional space. Recent work on the skyline operator [3, 15, 8, 13, 2] focuses on efficient computation of skylines in large databases. However, such work gives users only thin skylines, i.e., single objects, whi...

Skyline queries are useful for finding interesting tuples from a large data set according to multiple criteria. The sizes of data sets are constantly increasing and the architecture of back-ends are switching from single-node environments to non-conventional paradigms like MapReduce. Despite the usefulness of skyline queries, existing works on skyline computation in MapReduce do not take full a...

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 available as a single example. Recently, the well-known skyline operator was reused in metric similarity search as a “multi-example” query type. When applied on a m...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of τ -skyline as an alternative representation for uncertain skylines. Given a parameter τ ∈ [0,1] and a set P of n uncertain points in the plane, where each uncertain point Pi is described by a discrete probability distribution defined over k locations, the τ -skyline region of P is the set of points q in the plane such that the probability of any Pi domi...

Skyline evaluation techniques (also known as Pareto preference queries) follow a common paradigm that eliminates data elements by finding other elements in the data set that dominate them. To date already a variety of sophisticated skyline evaluation techniques are known, hence skylines are considered a well researched area. Nevertheless, in this paper we come up with interesting new aspects. O...

SUMMARY Skyline is a Windows client application for targeted proteomics method creation and quantitative data analysis. It is open source and freely available for academic and commercial use. The Skyline user interface simplifies the development of mass spectrometer methods and the analysis of data from targeted proteomics experiments performed using selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Skyline ...

Skyline queries play an important role in applications such as multicriteria decision making and user preference systems. Recently, more attention has been paid to the problem of efficient skyline computation in the P2P systems. Due to the high distribution of the P2P networks, the skyline computation incurs too many intermediate results transferred between peers, which consumes mass of the net...

Skyline recommendation technology has recently received a lot of attention in the database community. However, the existing works mostly focus on how to obtain skyline objects from fine-grained data in centralized environments. And the time cost of skyline recommendation will increase exponentially as the number of data and skyline recommendation instructions increases, which will seriously inf...

Skyline queries are important in many application domains. In this paper, we propose a novel structure Diagram, which given set of points, partitions the plane into regions, referred to as skyline polyominos. All query points same polyomino have results. Similar kth-order Voronoi diagram commonly used facilitate k nearest neighbor (kNN) queries, can be and other applications. However, it may co...
