Processing a Large Number of Continuous Preference Top-k Queries

Summary: Proposes scalable dynamic indexes for many continuous top-k queries, each with a linear preference. Combines reverse-top-k and top-k indexes to enable updates, exploits preference clustering, and offers a fast approximate variant with minimal accuracy loss.
