In this paper, we propose an effective filtering method for skyline queries in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Most existing researches assume that data is uniformly distributed. Under these assumptions, the previous works focus on optimizing the energy consumption due to the limited battery power. However, in practice, data distribution is skewed in a specific region. In order to reduce the energy consumption, we propose a new filtering method considering the data distribution. We verify the performance of the proposed method through a comparative experiment with an existing method. The results of the experiment confirm that the proposed method reduces the communication overhead and execution time compared to an existing method.

스카이라인 질의는 사용자의 선호도를 고려하여 무수히 많은 데이터로부터 사용자에게 유용한 정보만을 반환한다. 스카이라인을 효율적으로 계산하기 위한 많은 방법들이 연구 되었지만, 그 중에서도 스카이라인질의 기능이 제공되지 않는 일반적인 데이터베이스로부터 스카이라인을 계산할 수 있는 최적의 알고리즘인 Sort and Limit Skyline Algorithm(SaLSa)이 있다. SaLSa는 정렬된 데이터와 정지점의 활용으로 전체 데이터 중 일부만 읽으며 스카이라인을 구할 수 있다. 정지점을 중간에 계산하는 SaLSa는 정지점의 기능을 충분히 활용하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 정지점을 미리 계산하여 정지점의 제거기능을 최대화시킨 효율적인 스카이라인 알고리즘 Skyline with Transformation(SWT)을 제안하고, 실험을 통해 SWT가 SaLSa에 비해 데이터 제거 효과 및 스카이라인 질의 처리 속도가 우수함을 검증한다.

The skyline query is one of the effective methods to deal with the large amounts and multi-dimensional data set. By utilizing the concept of 'dominate' the skyline query can pinpoint the target data so that the dominated ones, about 95% of them, can efficiently be excluded as an unnecessary data. Most of the skyline query algorithms, however, have been developed in terms of the numerical data set. This paper pioneers an entirely new domain, the categorical data, on which the corresponding ranking measures for the skyline queries are suggested. In the experiment, the ACM Computing Classification System has been exploited to which our methods are significantly represented with respect to performance thresholds such as the processing time and precision ratio, etc.

It has been studied to support data having multiple properties, called Skyline Query. The skyline query is not exploring data having all properties but only meaningful data, when we retrieve informations in large data base. The skyline query can be used to provide some information about various environments and situations in sensor network. However, the legacy skyline query has a problem that increases the number of comparisons as the number of sensors are increasing in multi-dimensional data. Also important values are often omitted. Therefore, we propose a new method to reduce the complexity of comparison where the large number of sensors are placed. To reduce the complexity, we transfer a CMF(Category Based Member Function) which can identify preference of specific data when interest query from sync-node is transferred to sub-node. To show the validity of our method, we analyzed the performance by simulations. As a result, it showed that the time complexity was reduced when we retrieved information in multiple sensing data and omitted values are detected by great dominance Skyline.

Most of previous works for skyline queries have focused only on static attributes of target objects. With the advance in mobile applications, however, the need of continuous skyline queries for moving objects has been increasing. Even though several techniques to process continuous skyline queries have been proposed recently, they cannot process subspace queries, which use only the subset of attribute dimensions. Therefore it is not feasible to utilize those methods for mobile applications which must consider moving objects and subspaces simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a dominant object-based pruning method to compute subspace skyline of moving objects efficiently at query time and present the experimental results to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In sensor networks, many methods have been proposed to process in-network aggregation effectively. Unlike general aggregation queries, skyline query processing compares multi-dimensional data for the result. Therefore, it is very difficult to process the skyline queries in sensor networks. It is important to filter unnecessary data for energy-efficient skyline query processing. Existing approach like MFTAC restricts unnecessary data transitions by deploying filters to whole sensors. However, network lifetime is reduced by energy consumption for many false positive data and filters transmission. In this paper, we propose a bottom up filtering-based skyline query processing algorithm of in-network for reducing energy consumption by filters transmission and a PBFiltering technique for improving performance of filtering. The proposed algorithm creates the skyline filter table (SFT) in the data gathering process which sends from sensor nodes to the base station and filters out unnecessary transmissions using it. The experimental results show that our algorithm reduces false positives and improves the network lifetime over the existing method.

Given a multi-dimensional dataset of tuples, a skyline query returns a subset of tuples which are not 'dominated' by any other tuples. Skyline query is very useful in Big data analysis since it filters out uninteresting items. Much interest was devoted to the MapReduce-based parallel processing of skyline queries in large-scale distributed environment. There are three requirements to improve parallelism in MapReduced-based algorithms: (1) workload should be well balanced (2) avoid redundant computations (3) Optimize network communication cost. In this paper, we introduce MR-SEAP (MapReduce sample Skyline object Equality Angular Partitioning), an efficient angular space partitioning based skyline query processing using sampling-based pruning, which satisfies requirements above. We conduct an extensive experiment to evaluate MR-SEAP.

Skyline queries are used extensively to solve various problems, such as in decision-making, because they find data that meet a variety of user criteria. Recent research has focused on skyline queries by using the MapReduce framework for large database processing, mainly in terms of applying existing index structures to MapReduce. In a skyline, data closer to the origin dominate more area. However, the existing index structure does not reflect such characteristics of the skyline. In this paper, we propose a grid-block structure that groups grid cells to match the characteristics of a skyline, and a two-level grid-block structure that can be used even when there are no data close to the origin. We also propose an efficient skyline-query algorithm that uses the two-level grid-block structure.

대부분의 스카이라인 질의에 대한 연구는 완전한 데이터에 관하여 이루어지고 있다. 하지만, 우리가 웹이나 기타 다른 도구로 데이터베이스에 자료를 입력할 때는 null을 허용하는 부분이 존재한다. 현재 이런 불완전한 데이터를 처리하기 위한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 기존에 제안되었던 불완전한 데이터를 처리하는 기법과 차원의 저주를 해결하기 위한 기법을 고려하여 이를 바탕으로 완전한 데이터와 동등하거나 혹은 더 좋을지도 모르는 데이터를 우선순위가 높은 순서대로 k(g)개 검색해주는 스카이라인 그룹 질의를 도입하고 이를 처리하는 방법을 제안한다.

스카이라인 질의는 '지배(dominate)'관계를 적용한 선호도 질의(preference query)의 한 종류로, 복수의 기준을 이용한 의사 결정 시 사용된다. 스카이라인 질의 결과는 다수의 선택지 중에서 사용자가 다른 객체에 비해 뒤처지지 않는 선택지를 제시함으로써 사용자가 검토해야하는 선택지의 수를 대폭 감소시키기 때문에 대용량 데이터 분석 시 매우 유용하게 활용될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존에 제시된 BBS(Branch and Bound Skyline Computation)에서 사용되고 있는 평가함수를 설명하고, 스카이라인 계산을 위해 사용할 수 있는 대안 평가함수의 속성을 제시한다. 또한 다양한 대안 평가함수를 사용한 실험을 통해 성능을 분석했으며, 이를 통해 기존 기법의 성능보다 좋은 평가함수가 존재함을 보였다.
