Abstract. Tandem mass spectrometry is a widely used method for protein and peptide sequences identification. Since the mass spectra contain up to 80% of noise and many other inaccu...
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 problem of skyline computation has attracted considerable research attention. In the categorical domain the problem becomes more complicated, primarily due to the partially-or...

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...
Spatial database operations are typically performed in two steps. In the filtering step, indexes and the minimum bounding rectangles (MBRs) of the objects are used to quickly dete...
