Efficient Processing of Top-k Spatial Preference Queries

Summary: Maps data–feature pairs into a distance-score space to identify the minimal pair set sufficient for any top-k spatial preference query. A neighborhood-free query algorithm with efficient materialization and maintenance then reduces I/Os and speeds up execution versus state-of-the-art methods.
