Representing and reasoning with an agent's preferences is important in many applications of constraints formalisms. Such preferences are often only partially ordered. One clas...
We present here a formal foundation for an iterative and incremental approach to constructing and evaluating preference queries. Our main focus is query modification: a query tran...
Preference-based queries often referred to as skyline queries play an important role in cooperative query processing. However, their prohibitive result sizes pose a severe challen...
Unlike numerical preferences, preferences on attribute values do not show an inherent total order, but skyline computation has to rely on partial orderings explicitly stated by th...
Recent advances in research fields like multimedia and bioinformatics have brought about a new generation of hyper-dimensional databases which can contain hundreds or even thousan...
