Optimal Top-K Query Evaluation for Weighted Business Processes
Summary: Top-k weighted BP flow discovery: given a BP, a flow-weighting function, a query, and k, identify the k highest-weighted flows satisfying the query. First provably optimal algorithm for top-k BP flows; enables efficient top-k query evaluation in data management. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
