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.

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 an important new search capability for multi-dimensional databases. Most of the previous works have focused on processing skyline queries over static data set. However, most of the real applications deal with the dynamic data set. Since dynamic data set constantly changes as time passes, the continuous skyline computation over dynamic data set becomes ever more complicated. In this paper, we propose a multiple layer grids method for continuous skyline computation (MLGCS) that maintains multiple layer grids to manage the dynamic data set. The proposed method divides the work space into multiple layer grids and creates the skyline influence region in the grid of each layer. In the continuous environment, the continuous skyline queries are only handled when the updating data points are in the skyline influence region of each layer grid. Experiments based on various data distributions show that our proposed method outperforms the existing methods.

Recently, the processing of data streams such as stock quotes, buy-sell orders, and billing records becomes more important in e-Business environments. Especially, the use of skyline queries over data streams is rapidly increasing to support multiple criteria decision making. Given a set of multi-dimensional tuples, a skyline query retrieves a set of tuples which are not dominated by other tuples. Although there has been much work on processing skyline queries over static datasets, there has been relatively less work on processing multiple skyline queries over data streams. In this paper, we propose an efficient method for processing multiple continuous skyline queries over data streams. The proposed method efficiently identifies which tuple is a skyline tuple of which query, resulting in a lower cost of processing multiple skyline queries. Through performance evaluation, we show the performance advantage of the proposed method.

In sensor networks, many methods have been proposed to process in-network aggregation effectively. Contrary to normal aggregation queries, skyline query processing that compare multi-dimension data for producing result is very hard. 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 filters transmission. In this paper, we propose a lazy filtering-based skyline query processing algorithm of in-network for reducing energy consumption by filters transmission. 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 the proposed algorithm reduces false positive by 53% and improves network lifetime by 44% on average over MFTAC.

Skyline query is a scheme for exploring objects that are suitable for user preferences based on multiple attributes of objects. Existing skyline queries return search results as batch processing, but the need for real-time search results has increased with the advent of interactive apps or mobile environments. Online algorithm for Skyline improves the return speed of objects to explore preferred objects in real time. However, the object navigation process requires unnecessary navigation time due to repeated comparative operations. This paper proposes a Pre-processing Online Algorithm for Skyline Query (POA) to eliminate unnecessary search time in Online Algorithm exploration techniques and provide the results of skyline queries in real time. Proposed techniques use the concept of range-limiting to existing Online Algorithm to perform pretreatment and then eliminate repetitive rediscovering regions first. POAs showed improvement in standard distributions, bias distributions, positive correlations, and negative correlations of discrete data sets compared to Online Algorithm. The POAs used in this paper improve navigation performance by minimizing comparison targets for Online Algorithm, which will be a new criterion for rapid service to users in the face of increasing use of mobile devices.

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.

Related to the maximum vector problem, a skyline query is to discover dominating tuples from a set of tuples, where each defines an object (such as a hotel) in several dimensions (such as the price and the distance to the beach). A tuple, an instance of an object, dominates another tuple if it is equally good or better in all dimensions and better in at least one dimension. Traditionally, skyline queries are defined upon single-instance data or upon objects each of which is associated with an instance. However, in some cases, an object is not associated with a single instance but rather by multiple instances. For example, on a review website, many users assign scores to a product or a service, and a user's score is an instance of the object representing the product or the service. Such data is an example of multi-instance data. Unlike most (if not all) others considering the traditional setting, we consider skyline queries defined upon multi-instance data. We define the dominance calculation and propose an algorithm to reduce its computational cost. We use synthetic and real data to evaluate the proposed methods, and the results demonstrate their utility.

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.
