Preference Trade-Offs - Towards Manageable Skylines
Skyline queries are generally considered as a promising technique for mitigating the challenges posed by the ever growing amount of available information. However, despite nearly a decade of research, the application of the Skyline paradigm in real-world information systems still failed to succeed. This fact was mainly attributed to two major problems: the poor performance of the employed algor...
متن کاملAnalysing trade-offs in resource and labour allocation by smallholder farmers using inverse modelling techniques: A case-study from Kakamega district, western Kenya
Smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa face multiple trade-offs when deciding on the allocation of their financial, labour and nutrient resources. Day-to-day decisions have implications for the sustainability of their farming system, implying multiple trade-offs between shortand long-term objectives that have biophysical and socio-economic dimensions. We show that inverse modelling techniques ...

However, this often results in unmanageable large result set sizes hampering the success of this innovative paradigm. As an effective remedy for this problem, trade-offs provide a natural concept for...
