  • Publication number: 20080319964
    Abstract: Systems, methods and articles for performing preference filtering on a database query. Example embodiments provide a new algorithm, called BNL#, that operates with a worst-case running time of O(ntce+ne+np) where {ne, np}<<nt?O(ntce). This represents an improvement over existing algorithms that are known in the art, such as the BNL algorithm which operates with a worst-case running time of O(nt2) and the BNL++ algorithm which operates with a worst-case running time of O(ntceneme), with ne<<nt. This abstract is provided to comply with rules requiring an abstract, and is submitted with the intention that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
