20. C ONCLUSIONS Proposed an efficient set of skyline evaluation algorithms that are based on the idea of organizing the discovered skyline points in a tree. Each candidate skyline object only needs to be compared for dominance with a small subset of the existing skyline points. (skip incomparable sets ) Makes our solutions scalable to the dimensionality, a feature that all previously proposed skyline algorithms lack. 20
