Efficient Computation of Reverse Skyline Queries

Summary: Introduces reverse skyline queries for dynamic skylines in a transformed space with q as origin; BBRS (branch-and-bound) computes reverse skylines, aided by a superset bound to prune search. RSSA uses precomputed skyline approximations to prune candidates, achieving up to an order-of-magnitude speedup over non-approximate methods on real and synthetic data.
