OPEN UNIVERSITY OF CYPRUS: “SKYLINES AND OTHER DOMINANCE-BASED QUERIES” THE TITLE OF THE NEW BOOK CO-AUTHORED BY PROFESSOR YANNIS MANOLOPOULOS

“Skylines and Other Dominance-Based Queries” is the title of the new book co-authored by Professor Yannis Manolopoulos, Vice-Rector of the Open University of Cyprus, and Apostolos N. Papadopoulos (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki - AUTh), Eleftherios Tiakas (AUTh), Theodoros Tzouramanis (University of Thessaly) and Nikolaos Georgiadis (AUTh). The book, published by Morgan and Claypool, is a valuable source for academics, researchers, students and professionals in the field of data management.

The book is an introduction to dominance-based query processing techniques and their applications, and seeks to present fundamental and advanced issues in the area of data management. The concept of dominance has a long history in multi-criteria optimization, and many algorithmic techniques have been proposed for the efficient processing of dominance-based queries, such as skyline queries, -dominant queries, and top-𝑘 dominating queries, in order to extract knowledge from big data and support decision-making processes.
