XML 数据流上Top-K 关键字查询处理

利用关键字可以在模式未知的情况下对XML数据进行查询.在当前的XML数据流上的关键字查询处理中,打分函数往往不能都满足各种用户不同的需求.提出了一种基于skyline的XML数据流上的Top-K关键字查询.对于这种查询,不需要考虑影响结果与查询相关性的复杂因素,只需利用skyline挑选与查询最相关的结果.提出了两种XML数据流上的有效的基于skyline的Top-K关键查询处理算法,包括对单查询和多查询的处理算法.通过扩展实验对两种算法的有效性和可扩展性进行了验证.经过实验验证,所提出的查询处理算法的效率几乎不受关键字个数、查询结果数量、查询数量等参数的影响,运行时间和文档大小大致呈线性关系.     

k支配能力排序轮廓查询算法

随着轮廓查询应用的扩展,轮廓查询被扩展为其他更复杂的查询问题,包括k支配轮廓、reverse轮廓、k最多支配轮廓等等.然而,现存的轮廓查询不符合某些用户需求,还需要研究新的轮廓查询及其相关算法.为了满足用户需求,提出k支配能力轮廓的概念,同时提出一种快速的k支配能力排序轮廓查询算法(KRA).由于不确定性数据带有概率,KRA算法不能直接应用于不确定性数据.针对不确定性轮廓查询的特点,提出不确定性k支配能力轮廓的概念,并提出不确定性k支配能力排序轮廓查询算法(KRA_U).实验结果表明,算法KRA和KRA_U均可以高效地计算出k支配能力轮廓.     

基于高斯模型的不确定数据流Skyline查询方法

由于数据的动态性及不确定性等特征,使得不确定数据流上Skyline查询研究面临挑战.不确定对象一般采用多元概率密度函数(PDF)表示,现有的不确定数据流Skyline查询方法均采用离散型随机变量建模.然而不确定数据流中的对象可能是连续变化的,离散模型对连续性随机变量难以适用.针对连续PDF建模的不确定数据流Skyline查询进行了研究,提出了基于高斯模型的不确定数据流Skyline查询方法(SGMU),该方法包含2个过程:1)动态高斯建模算法(DGM):对滑动窗口采样并建立高斯模型,将原始的数据流转化为不确定对象PDF的参数流;2)提出了基于高斯树的查询算法(GTS)以建立空间索引结构和执行Skyline查询.实验结果表明,SGMU算法不仅能够对连续型不确定对象进行有效建模以辅助Skyline查询,而且能够有效地减少查询对象个数,提高Skyline查询效率.     

面向无线认知网络的冗余感知数据消除

在无线认知网络的协作式频谱感知方案中,非授权用户（次要用户）将各自感知到的可用频谱信息转发给邻居节点,作为频谱分配的依据.而实际上,仅有部分数据影响着频谱分配的结果.无用信息的传递不仅产生了大量额外的通信开销,而且在频谱分配过程中浪费了计算资源.这种情况对于频谱资源稀缺的无线认知网络和能量有限的认知终端来说是无法接受的.因此,如何减少无用信息的传递是一个具有重大实际意义的问题.基于skyline查询处理,提出了多目标约束下skychannel查询处理方法,以减少冗余感知信息传递.其基本思想是：将数据空间划分为控制区域、被控区域和自由区域,按照信道的性能参数,将要查询的信道放入相应区域.传输时,直接忽略被控信道的信息而仅传输非被控信道的数据.在保证不影响频谱分配结果的前提下,可以大量降低网络开销,节约用户的计算资源.仿真结果显示,skychannel查询方法在节约查询时间、降低通信开销和计算开销等方面具有优势.

Efficient and scalable continuous skyline monitoring in two-tier streaming settings

Two-tier streaming settings are a typical dynamic environment where continuous skylines represent an important semantic indicator for multiple attributes. To monitor skylines over the dynamic data in such settings, one needs to continuously update the skyline query results in order to reflect the new data values. This paper tackles the problem of continuous skyline monitoring on a central query server over dynamic data from multiple data sites. Simply sending the updates of tuple values to the server is cost-prohibitive. Therefore, we propose an approach that allows the central server to collaborate with the data sites to monitor the possible skyline changes. By doing so, the processing load is distributed over all the data sites instead of only on the central server. Furthermore, this collaborative approach minimizes the bandwidth consumption between the server and the data sites, which is often critical in a widely distributed environment such as a wide-area sensor network. We give theoretical upper bounds for the computation costs and communication costs of the proposed collaborative approach. We also conduct extensive experiments on both synthetic and real data sets. The experimental results demonstrate that our collaborative approach is efficient, scalable and well-balanced in terms of communication costs and computation costs.     

Efficient processing of probabilistic group subspace skyline queries in uncertain databases

Due to the pervasive data uncertainty in many real applications, efficient and effective query answering on uncertain data has recently gained much attention from the database community. In this paper, we propose a novel and important query in the context of uncertain databases, namely probabilistic group subspace skyline (PGSS) query, which is useful in applications like sensor data analysis. Specifically, a PGSS query retrieves those uncertain objects that are, with high confidence, not dynamically dominated by other objects, with respect to a group of query points in ad-hoc subspaces. In order to enable fast PGSS query answering, we propose effective pruning methods to reduce the PGSS search space, which are seamlessly integrated into an efficient PGSS query procedure. Furthermore, to achieve low query cost, we provide a cost model, in light of which uncertain data are pre-processed and indexed. Extensive experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our proposed approaches.     

Skyline and mapping aware join query evaluation

Growing interests in multi-criteria decision support applications have resulted in a flurry of efficient skyline algorithms. In practice, real-world decision support applications require to access data from disparate sources. Existing techniques define the skyline operation to work on a single set, and therefore, treat skylines as an “add-on” on top of a traditional Select-Project-Join query plan. In many real-world applications, the skyline dimensions can be anti-correlated such as the attribute pair {price, mileage} for cars and {price, distance} for hotels. Anti-correlated data are particularly challenging for skyline evaluation and therefore have commonly been ignored by existing techniques. In this work, we propose a robust execution framework called SKIN to evaluate skyline over joins. The salient features of SKIN are: (a) effective in reducing the two primary costs, namely the cost of generating the join results and the cost of dominance comparisons to compute the final skyline of join results, (b) shown to be robust for both skyline-friendly (independent and correlated) as well as skyline-unfriendly (anti-correlated) data distributions. SKIN is effective in exploiting the skyline knowledge in both local within individual data sources and across disparate sources—to significantly reduce the above-mentioned costs incurred during the evaluation of skyline over join. Our experimental study demonstrates the superiority of our proposed approach over state-of-the-art techniques to handle a wide variety of data distributions.
