Efficient distributed skyline computation using dependency-based...

Skyline queries, together with other advanced query operators, are essential in order to help identify sets of interesting data points buried within huge amount of data readily available these days. A skyline query retrieves sets of non-dominated data points in a multi-dimensional dataset As computing infrastructures become increasingly pervasive, connected by readily available network services, data storage and management have become inevitably more distributed. Under these distributed environm
