Efficient Algorithms for Uncertain Restricted Skyline Query Processing
摘要
With the rapid growth of uncertain data, query processing on uncertain data has become an important research area. Although considerable efforts have been devoted to answering certain types of queries on uncertain data, how to perform restricted skyline (rskyline) queries on uncertain data remains an open problem. To fill the gap, this paper studies the all rskyline probabilities (ARSP) problem, which aims to compute the probability of each uncertain tuple appearing in the rskyline, and the most-likely rskyline (MLRS) problem, which aims to identify a set of uncertain tuples with the highest probability of being the rskyline. We prove that no algorithm can solve the ARSP problem in strongly subquadratic time, unless the orthogonal vectors conjecture fails and the MLRS problem is NP-hard. When
