Many different skyline algorithms for preference-based search have been proposed and compared in the literature, but most of these evaluations were based on synthetic data. In this paper, we present a case study of skyline computation on commercial data that we consider representative for many e-commerce platforms. The results of our measurements differ significantly from the results reported on synthetic data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
