Categorical Skylines for Streaming Data

Summary: Streaming categorical skylines: addresses dominance under partial orders where offline methods fail. Proposes a lightweight streaming buffer index for multi-attribute, partially ordered domains, using dual-space geometry to speed dominance queries; experiments.
