Communication-Efficient Distributed Skyline Computation
Haoyu Zhang, Qin Zhang · 2017
In this paper we study skyline queries in the distributed computational model, where we have s remote sites and a central coordinator; each site holds a piece of data, and the coordinator wants to compute the skyline of the union of the s datasets. The computation is in terms of rounds, and the goal is to minimize both the total communication cost and the round cost.
