Streaming applications pose new and interesting challenges for data management systems, requiring a major rethink of almost all aspects of traditional database management systems to support streaming applications. This book introduces a coherent body of work spanning various aspects of streaming data. Eight invited chapters by distinguished researchers active in stream data management provide exposition of algorithms and languages, as well as systems proposed and implemented from managing streaming data.

Zusammenfassung

Researchers in data management have recently recognized the importance of a new class of data-intensive applications that requires managing data streams, i.e., data composed of continuous, real-time sequence of items. Streaming applications pose new and interesting challenges for data management systems. Such application domains require queries to be evaluated continuously as opposed to the one time evaluation of a query for traditional applications. Streaming data sets grow continuously and queries must be evaluated on such unbounded data sets. These, as well as other challenges, require a major rethink of almost all aspects of traditional database management systems to support streaming applications.

Stream Data Management comprises eight invited chapters by researchers active in stream data management. The collected chapters provide exposition of algorithms, languages, as well as systems proposed and implemented for managing streaming data.

Stream Data Management is designed to appeal to researchers or practitioners already involved in stream data management, as well as to those starting out in this area. This book is also suitable for graduate students in computer science interested in learning about stream data management.
