The skyline operator returns from a set of multi-dimensional objects a subset of superior objects that are not dominated by others. This operation is considered very important in ...
The family of threshold algorithm (i.e., TA) has been widely studied for efficiently computing top-k queries. TA uses a sort-merge framework that assumes data lists are pre-sorted...
The skyline operator was first proposed in 2001 for retrieving interesting tuples from a dataset. Since then, 100+ skyline-related papers have been published; however, we discove...
As communication and I/O traffic increase on the interconnection network of high-performance systems, network contention becomes a critical problem drastically reducing performan...
Main memory is a critical resource when processing non-blocking queries with state intensive operators that require real-time responses. While partitioned parallel processing can ...
