During the last decades, data management and storage have become increasingly
distributed. Advanced query operators, such as skyline queries, are necessary in order to …

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 …

Uncertain data are inherent in some important applications. Although a considerable
amount of research has been dedicated to modeling uncertain data and answering some …

Skyline computation has many applications including multi-criteria decision making. In this
paper, we study the problem of selecting k skyline points so that the number of points, which …

Post-silicon validation is used to identify design errors in silicon. Its main limitation is real-
time observability of the circuit's internal nodes. In this paper, we introduce a novel design …

In this paper, for the first time, we introduce the concept of Spatial Skyline Queries (SSQ).
Given a set of data points P and a set of query points Q, each data point has a number of …

Skyline has been proposed as an important operator for multi-criteria decision making, data
mining and visualization, and userpreference queries. In this paper, we consider the …

In many decision-making applications, the skyline query is frequently used to find a set of
dominating data points (called skyline points) in a multi-dimensional dataset. In a high …

The skyline operator is important for multicriteria decision making applications. Although
many recent studies developed efficient methods to compute skyline objects in a specific …

Given a dataset P and a preference function f, a top-k query retrieves the k tuples in P with
the highest scores according to f. Even though the problem is well-studied in conventional …
