Shooting Stars in the Sky: An Online Algorithm for Skyline Queries

Summary: Online skyline algorithm that returns results incrementally instead of batching. Offers interactive, preference-driven streaming, letting users steer which results appear next (e.g., cheaper or nearer) during execution. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
