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 …

Skyline queries have attracted considerable attention to assist multicriteria analysis of large-
scale datasets. In this paper, we focus on multidimensional subspace skyline computation …

The skyline of a data point set is made up of the best points in the set, and is very important
for multi-criteria decision making. In these years, the skyline problem attracts more and more …

The skyline operator extracts relevant records from multidimensional databases according to
multiple criteria. This operator has received a lot of attention because of its ability to identify …

Skyline operation is typical multicriteria decision making well documented in data
engineering. The assumption of skyline operation is settled human preference, which may …

We propose an effective method to compute the sky pattern cubes thanks to a relaxation
strategy in the pattern mining process. Our approach is based on the fact that each node of …

The reverse skyline query is very useful in many decision making applications. Given a multi-
dimensional dataset P and a query point q, the reverse skyline query returns all the points in …

Generally, a decision problem can be modeled as one of the three types: structural, semi-
structural, and non-structural. The structural problems reveal a well organized formulation …

The skyline operation is a typical Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) that has been well
studied in database context. The basic assumption of convention-al skyline operator is …

Libraries handle ever more digital images. Ancient documents, books, manuscripts are
digitized, image processing tools extract and assign keywords to the obtained images, but a …
