Top-k queries are widely applied for retrieving a ranked set of the k most interesting objects based on the individual user preferences. As an example, in online marketplaces, cus...
Query processing on uncertain data streams has attracted a lot of attentions lately, due to the imprecise nature in the data generated from a variety of streaming applications, su...

A major problem of unstructured P2P systems is their heavy network traffic. This is caused mainly by high numbers of query answers, many of which are irrelevant for users. One solu...
Advanced personalization of database applications is a big challenge, in particular for distributed mobile environments. We present several new results from a prototype of a route...
Frequent elements and top-k queries constitute an important class of queries for data stream analysis applications. Certain applications require answers for both frequent elements...
Top-k queries based on ranking elements of multidimensional datasets are a fundamental building block for many kinds of information discovery. The best known general-purpose algor...
This paper addresses the efficient processing of top-k queries in wide-area distributed data repositories where the index lists for the attribute values (or text terms) of a query...

Processing of top-k queries has been attracting considerable attention. Much of the work assumes distributed data, with each site holding a different set of attributes for the sam...
The general problem of answering top-k queries can be modeled using lists of data items sorted by their local scores. The most efficient algorithm proposed so far for answering to...
