Problem DescriptionTravel Preferences
Szenario: Vacation Planning - One week in Vienna
Preferences and wishes
Target:
Fulfill all preferences and keep a price ≤ 1050 e.

Problem DescriptionAn Example
Flight Hotel CarQA, BC, 680 e Gran, 2*, 125 e VW, C, 120 eKLM, BC, 810 e Ritz, 4*, 250 e Audi, L, 175 eLH, FC, 990 e Expo, 3*, 360 e BMW, L, 210 e
Target:
Fulfill all preferences and keep a price ≤ 1050 e.

Problem DescriptionAn Example
Flight Hotel CarQA, BC, 680 e Gran, 2*, 125 e VW, C, 120 eKLM, BC, 810 e Ritz, 4*, 250 e Audi, L, 175 eLH, FC, 990 e Expo, 3*, 360 e BMW, L, 210 e
Argh, very bad!
My preferences are fulfilled to the very best but the price of 1290 eexceeds my constraint of 1050 e.

Problem DescriptionAn Example
Flight Hotel CarQA, BC, 680 e Gran, 2*, 125 e VW, C, 120 eKLM, BC, 810 e Ritz, 4*, 250 e Audi, L, 175 eLH, FC, 990 e Expo, 3*, 360 e BMW, L, 210 e
Yeah, fantastic!
The price of 1050 e exactly matches my budget and my preferences arealmost fulfilled.

Big Question
How to retrieve allFlight - Hotel - RentalCarcombinations with best
possible completion of alluser preferencesin particular the
hard price constraint?
Preference Queries with Aggregate Constraints Sion 2007 4 / 17
The BruteForce Algorithm
Brute force
Compute cartesian product F × H × C
Determine all combinations with aggregate price ≤ 1050 e
Fulfill all user preferences best possible
Disadvantages
Damned time consuming
Unfeasible for E-Commerce
Empty result effect
Preferences maybe not satisfied

Quality AssignmentAnd Further Algorithms
Useful but not feasible
Apply preference selection first
Problem: Empty result set
Quality assignment for preferences
perfect hit −→good hit −→bad hit −→

Why Smilies?Makes this sense?
Preference Queries with Aggregate Constraints Sion 2007 7 / 17
The DOMINANCE AlgorithmAn Improvement
Dominance Criterion
Given items i and j such that
i .price ≥ j .price ∧ i .smiley < j .smiley
then there exists an optimal solution without item i .

The DOMINANCE AlgorithmThe Algorithm
Assign preference qualities to items
Apply dominance criterion → much less items
Build all combinations with aggregate price ≤ 1050 e
Find best combinations concerning the user preferences

Expo, 3*, 360 e,

The HEURISTICS AlgorithmAgain an Improvement
Good old sorting ...
Sorting by price after applying the dominance criterion sorts theundominated items by increasing smiley, too.

The HEURISTICS AlgorithmThe Algorithm
Assign preference qualities to items
Apply dominance criterion → much less items
Build all combinations with aggregate price ≤ 1050 e
Sort undominated items by increasing price.
Guess a solution ≤ 1050 e
Find further / better preference solutions in a neighborhood
