Reverse k Nearest Neighbors Query Processing: Experiments and Analysis

Summary: First comprehensive experimental study of RkNN algorithms (six-regions, TPL, FINCH, InfZone, SLICE) across varied settings, addressing I/O modeling and buffering. Introduces a filtering strategy that makes TPL up to 20× faster and cuts I/O roughly 2×, highlighting buffering's impact on fair comparisons in reverse-kNN research.
