Genericalgorithmfor a hierarchic metric index • branch-and-boundalgorithm (originally developed for R-tree and classic/spatial skyline operator) • dynamic mapping of the metric space into L1 vector space (examples) • heuristics: data/regionsprocessed in L1orderguaranteeno falsedismissals • a priority heapisused, storing index entriesequippedby MDDRs to beinspected (higher priority = lower L1orderof MDDR) Thealgorithm: 0) The entry of the entire index is pushedon the heap (e.g., M-tree root node). • Anentrywiththelowest L1 distance ofits MDDR ispoppedfromtheheap. • Iftheentrycontainsjustone data object (e.g., entry in an M-treeleaf), itisadded to theskyline set, whileremovingallentriesfromtheheapdominated by theentry. Jump to 1. • Iftheentryis a region (e.g., entry in an M-treeinnernode), itschildnodeisfetched. TheMDDRsofthechildnode’s entries are checked for dominance by the already determined skyline set, while the dominated ones are filtered from further processing. • The MDDRs of the non-filtered child entries are derived, while those not dominated by the current skyline set are pushed into the heap.

M-tree • metric index based on B+-tree • innernodecontains routing entries • ballregions (object and radius) + distance to parent region + pointer to subtree • leaf node contains ground entries • object + distance to parent region • 2 types of filtering by querying • parent filtering (cheap) • stored distance to parent is used • basic filtering (expensive) • distance computation needed DATESO 2010, Štědronín - Plazy
MSQ implementation using M-tree • uses the generic algorithm enhanced by specific M-tree MDDRs, mapping the M-tree regions from metric space into L1 vector space (dimensions are distances of data/regions to the query examples Qi) • 2 types of M-tree MDDR • Par-MDDR • the mapped oversized region ball (using the distance to parent) • B-MDDR • the mapped region ball DATESO 2010, Štědronín - Plazy

Conclusions • PM-treebasedmetricskylinequeryimplementation • up to 2x faster in termsof distance computationsand I/O cost(wrtoriginal M-treeimplementation) • up to 20x faster in termsofheapoperations • needsup to 20x lessspace for theheap Thankyou for your attention!
