DySky: Dynamic Skyline Queries on Uncertain Graphs
share
Given a graph, and a set of query vertices (subset of the vertices), the dynamic skyline query problem returns a subset of data vertices (other than query vertices) which are not dominated by other data vertices based on certain distance measure. In this paper, we study the dynamic skyline query problem on uncertain graphs (DySky). The input to this problem is an uncertain graph, a subset of its nodes as query vertices, and the goal here is to return all the data vertices which are not dominated by others. We employ two distance measures in uncertain graphs, namely, Majority Distance, and Expected Distance. Our approach is broadly divided into three steps: Pruning, Distance Computation, and Skyline Vertex Set Generation. We implement the proposed methodology with three publicly available datasets and observe that it can find out skyline vertex set without taking much time even for million sized graphs if expected distance is concerned. Particularly, the pruning strategy reduces the computational time significantly.
