    Abstract:Skiplists have become prevalent in systems. The main
    advantages of skiplists are their simplicity and ease of
    implementation, and the ability to support operations in the same
    asymptotic complexities as their tree-based counterparts. In this
    survey, we explore skiplists and their many variants. We
    highlight many scenarios of how skiplists are useful and fit well
    in these usage scenarios. We study several extensions to
    skiplists to make them fit for more applications, e.g., their use
    in the multi-dimensional space, network overlaying algorithms, as
    well as serving as indexes in database systems. Besides, we also
    discuss systems that adopt the idea of skiplists and apply the
    probabilistic skip pattern into their designs.
