Refreshing the Sky: The Compressed Skycube with Efficient Support for Frequent Updates

Summary: Proposes compressed skycube to support concurrent, dynamic subspace skyline queries with reduced update cost. An object-aware update scheme leverages skyline properties to maintain the complete skycube efficiently, balancing query and update workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
