Processing skyline queries in incomplete distributed databases

Due to its great benefits over many database applications, skyline queries have received formidable concern in the last decades. Skyline queries attempt to assist users by identifying the set of data items which represents the best results that meet the conditions of a given query. Most of the ex...

Skyline queries attempt to assist users by identifying the set of data items which represents the best results that meet the conditions of a given query. Most of the existing skyline techniques concentrate on identifying skylines over a single relation. However, in distributed databases, the process of skyline queries required accessing multiple relations which might be located at different sites.

In this paper, we proposed an approach for processing skyline queries in incomplete distributed databases.

description Due to its great benefits over many database applications, skyline queries have received formidable concern in the last decades. Skyline queries attempt to assist users by identifying the set of data items which represents the best results that meet the conditions of a given query.
